Leaders from both houses of Congress have invited the president of South Korea to address a joint meeting of Congress, a move aimed at reaffirming the historic alliance between that nation and the United States.

“With this year marking the 70th anniversary of the alliance between our two countries, it is an especially important time to reflect on the achievements of our partnership and to reaffirm our shared commitment to democracy, economic prosperity, and global peace,” the leaders wrote in an April 4 letter to President Yoon Suk Yeol of the Republic of Korea.
