I would like to thank everyone who worked so hard." He also conveyed to Prime Minister Hun Manet, "Once again, I express my deep gratitude."
President Lee went on to say, "I heard that the Embassy of the Republic of Korea prepared tteokguk to encourage the Korea Task Force," and added, "I hope it brought warm comfort to those who are doing their utmost to protect the safety of our people in a faraway land even during the Lunar New Year holiday."
