[The Present and Future of ROK-US Alliance: President Yoon's Visit to the US] ROK-US Alliance, Committing to Another 70 Years

► As is customary to honor the commitment made between countries on the anniversary of signing, the ROK-US alliance is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. Since the 70th birthday is considered a rare and significant event in Korea, the 70-year-history of the ROK-US alliance is certainly an exceptional milestone deserving of celebration, and even more so amidst a complex "diplomatic war" where no one can be fully trusted.
