His Excellency
CHO TAE-YUL
Foreign Minister
Republic of Korea

Excellency,

I am saddened to learn of the devastating wildfires which have recently affected the southern areas of the Republic of Korea, notably Ulsan, and North and South Gyeongsang Provinces.

Oh behalf of the Filipino people, I convey sincere sympathies for the loss of lives, livelihoods and properties due to this tragedy.

I join the international community in hoping for the quick recovery of the affected communities and areas as we continue to work closely together to ensure a sustainable and safe future for our peoples.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
