Princess Anne, the younger sister of Britain's King Charles III, visited HD Hyundai Heavy Industries' (HHI) shipyard in Ulsan on Tuesday, touring its shipbuilding and engine manufacturing facilities and discussing maritime cooperation between Korea and the United Kingdom.

The princess arrived in Korea on Monday for a three-day visit to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battles of Imjin River and Gapyeong, two major Korean War engagements involving British forces.

HD Hyundai is the only private Korean company Anne is scheduled to visit during her three-day trip to Korea.

Accompanied by Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence and British Ambassador to South Korea Colin Crooks, Anne met with HD Hyundai Chairman Chung Ki-sun, HHI Vice Chairman Lee Sang-kyun and HHI President Joo Won-ho.
