President Moon Jae-in hosted a welcoming dinner on Nov. 26 at ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Culture House in Busan for the leaders of the five countries through which the Mekong River, the longest river in Southeast Asia, runs – Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand.

"Korea achieved the Miracle on the Hangang River, and countries in the Mekong region are writing a new chapter of history – the Miracle on the Mekong River," the president said.

"I am confident that the dynamism of the Mekong and Korea's experience will combine to bring us all a miracle."

"I hope the Mekong-ROK (Republic of Korea) Summit will be the first step toward realizing prosperity with shared experiences, sustainable prosperity, and peace and mutual prosperity in East Asia," he added.

President Moon Jae-in on Nov. 26 speaks at the welcoming dinner for the inaugural Mekong-ROK Summit at Busan's ASEAN Culture House. "When North Korea joins the international community following denuclearization, Mekong countries are the ones that can share their experiences and offer the best possible assistance. I hope that with your support and encouragement, the leaders of the two Koreas will someday be able to dine with the Mekong leaders," he said.

President Moon Jae-in on Nov. 26 gives a toast with the leaders of the five nations through which the Mekong River runs at the welcoming dinner for the inaugural Mekong-ROK Summit at Busan's ASEAN Culture House. The menu featured Korean temple food since Buddhism is a commonality between Korea and the Mekong countries, including fried kkaennip (perilla leaf), wooyeong-milssam (burdock wrapped in wheat dough) and lotus leaf tea. Cheong Wa Dae said the use of ingredients from Korea and the Mekong countries was intended to promote "harmony" and "mutual prosperity."
