KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency) and KD Navien joint-hosted an event in Liverpool on November 1 to present their donation and installation of Navien’s condensing boilers to four British Korean War veterans.
Director general of KOTRA’s UK and Ireland branch, Youngsoo Cho, and the managing director of Navien UK, Matthew Choi, as well as local buyers and press, totalling around 80 people, were all in attendance.
The event focused on expressing the gratitude of the Korean people towards the war veterans, and on building friendship and success between Korea and the UK and generated great interest among local people.
Mr Cho said that he hopes for “prosperity in the partnership between the UK and Korea, two countries with a tradition and history of friendship” and that “Navien’s top quality energy efficient products and system will contribute to the lives of the British people, starting with these four heroes”.
Mr Cho added: “The Korean people have a lasting gratitude and warm heart towards the UK, and today’s event was both moving and heartfelt. Despite being a small gesture, we hope the warmth these boilers bring will show this warm heart.”
