-Excellencies & Distinguished guests,
On behalf of my colleagues, Ambassadors and Heads of Missions and members of the diplomatic community appointed in Korea,
I would like to express my gratitude and deep appreciation to the BOSEONG County gathering us today in this beautiful village and extend our support to the World Masters Committee a driving force providing peace and better understanding between diverse nations.
Excellencies,
Public diplomacy gives the impression of hope like a beautiful art work in a very challenging world.
Thanks to the BOSEONG World Tea Expo Organization, we are visiting the beautiful county of Green Tea, BOSEONG and participating to “The 11th BOSEONG World Tea Expo 2023”.
The warm generous welcoming to our diplomatic community in this heavenly natural environment surrounded by mountains, sea and lakes reflects the splendid cultural heritage of BOSEONG Pansori and the beauty of its people.
As Ambassadors it is essential to build bridges between nations and to foster greater understanding and cooperation between people. This visit provided us with a unique opportunity to deepen the ties between our nations and Korea and to explore the cultural and economic potential that exists and who knows maybe we’ll add leaves of green tea to our respective national dishes.
It is a fact: “BOSEONG” is bringing wellness to Korea and the world. In this land green tea is not a commercial product. Green tea is a healer, a gift that heals bodies and minds, a unique culture through tea ceremonies for social conviviality and wellbeing.
The diplomatic community is delighted to discover this beautiful county and wish a successful edition for “The 11th BOSEONG World Tea Expo 2023”, its organizers and participants.
Let NOKCHA tasting begin.
Gamsahamnida!
