The Embassy of Greece in Korea, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Armistice and in commemoration of Greece’s participation in the Korean War organized an event, in collaboration with the National Assembly, at the Sarangjae Hanok in Seoul, ANA reports.
Greece, although depopulated following the devastating World War II, was among the countries that responded to the international call to fight for the universal values of democracy and freedom, by dispatching nine airplanes and 10,824 officers and soldiers to Korea, of whom 194 died on the battlefields.
The event brought together distinguished representatives of the Korean Parliament and Government, corporate Korea, cultural and academic institutions as well as former Ambassadors of Korea to Greece and was graced by the presence of the spouse of the Prime Minister, Mrs. Han Duck-soo, who is traveling abroad.
