During her first visit to Korea, Trevelyan toured the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between Koreas and met with Vice Foreign Minister Lee Do-hoon as a gesture to reaffirm the U.K.'s commitment to peace and security. "This year marks 140 years in the U.K.'s friendship with South Korea, our valued partner on key issues from regional security to climate change," Trevelyan said. "By forming new partnerships on development and economic security, we will benefit our two great nations and build stability in the wider Indo-Pacific region. "We are delighted to launch Empower in partnership with the British Chamber of Commerce Korea and major British companies operating in Korea. Together, we can create a powerful network that empowers female entrepreneurs and professionals and promotes gender diversity and inclusion," British Ambassador to Korea Colin Crooks said.
