President Yoon visits Korean troops in UAE "Our security is our brotherhood"
On the afternoon of January 15th (local time), the second day of his state visit to the UAE (United Arab Emirates), South Korean President Yoon Seo-gyeol visited the South Korean special forces "Ark Unit" dispatched to the UAE.

In his words of encouragement, President Yoon called the UAE a "brother country", saying, "This is not the 'other UAE', where you have been ordered by the state, but this is your 'homeland'. Its security is our security."

"The enemy of the UAE, the most threatening enemy is Iran, and our enemy is North Korea," he said, adding that "we and the UAE are in a very similar position."

In addition, President Yoon said, "The fact that you are here and playing an active role will truly show the defence capabilities of the Republic of Korea to the world. That is enough to crush the enemy's will to provoke."

He continued, "As the commander-in-chief of the military, I am very proud of all of you, and I am very encouraged."
