The U.S. Embassy in South Korea posted a video message Wednesday from incoming U.S. Ambassador Michelle Steel, greeting the Korean people ahead of her arrival in Seoul.
"I am so honored to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to South Korea," she said in the video posted on the embassy's X account, which included English subtitles and its Korean translation.
"I am just looking forward to meeting you all," she said.
Steel will "take post soon and look forward to further strengthening relations between the two countries," the embassy wrote alongside the video.
