President Lee Jae-myung and First Lady Kim Hye-kyung, who are on a state visit to Mongolia, visited Ulaanbaatar's 'Seoul Street' on the 9th (local time) and communicated with citizens. Seoul Street is a street created following the sisterhood relationship between Seoul and Ulaanbaatar in 1995, and is lined with Korean brand convenience stores and restaurants. ‘Seouljeong’, a traditional Korean pavilion, was also erected. Citizens welcomed President Lee and his wife by saying “Hello,” “Nice to meet you,” and “Thank you” in Korean. President Lee responded by shaking hands and giving high fives to citizens. Citizens riding in vehicles rolled down their windows and waved or took pictures, and one citizen on a motorcycle sent a finger heart. President Lee also exchanged greetings with children playing on the playground. President Lee and his wife inspected the store in front of a Korean brand convenience store and expressed their joy when they saw Korean signs such as ‘pork’. He also met and exchanged greetings with a Mongolian national who studied in Korea about 20 years ago. President Lee climbed Seouljeong Pavilion, toured the area, and then stopped for gimbap and tteokbokki at a nearby street stall.
