Watch again: South Korean President Yoon attends London banquet

Описание: Watch as South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol attended a banquet at the Guildhall along with the Mayor of the City of London Michael Mainelli, on Wednesday, 22 November.

It is the latest engagement in the South Korean leader’s state visit, following his talks with Rishi Sunak at Downing Street.

Mr Yoon met the UK prime minister to sign a diplomatic accord which he hopes will help “promote freedom, peace and prosperity around the world together”, describing his invitation to Number 10 as “an honour and a privilege”.

His state visit began with a welcome from the King and Queen on Tuesday.

King Charles III said in a banquet speech that Koreans have “created a miracle” in their journey from “wartime devastation” to a thriving country where the “industrial efficiency” he witnessed during a visit in 1992 had become the “epitome” of technological innovation.”
