South Korea welcomes Türkiye with Turkish message: "Welcome, brother country!"
The South Korean Presidency shared a video featuring a Turkish-language welcome message for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit to Seoul, along with footage from the official ceremony. The video shows a taekwondo performance, guards in traditional attire, and moments of Erdoğan and Lee Jae-myung walking hand in hand.
South Korea welcomed President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit, his first in eight years, with a message in Turkish. The country’s official social media account posted a video of about one minute with the note "Welcome, brother country Türkiye!" The video features scenes from the official welcoming ceremony held at Cheong Wa Dae, the presidential compound in Seoul.
The video shows Turkish and Korean flags flying side by side, along with a taekwondo performance staged during the ceremony, a guard unit in traditional attire and a military band. It also includes scenes of Erdoğan descending into the ceremonial area hand in hand with State President Lee Jae-myung, greeting the Korean delegation and watching the performance while applauding. The video ends with the logo of the South Korean Presidency.
Why Koreans call Türkiye a "brother country"
In South Korea, Türkiye is widely referred to as a "brother country" (hyeongje-ui nara) because it served alongside United Nations forces in the Korean War with more than 21,000 troops. At an official dinner held in his honor in Seoul, Erdoğan also recalled that fate brought the two nations together 76 years ago and that Koreans called Turks "blood brothers."
During Erdoğan’s visit to South Korea from November 1 to 4, the two countries signed four agreements covering nuclear power plant financing, energy, mining, and science and technology. The $15 billion target for bilateral trade was reaffirmed. The two countries will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations next year.
