On 9 May, the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Korea invited the Ambassadors of the EU member states, 

diplomats, academia and European community to celebrate the Europe Day 2019 at the Seoul campus of Korea University.

 

9 May is celebrated annually as Europe Day, which marks the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration that was proposed 

by French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman in 1950 and became the foundation for the establishment of the European Union. 

The Schuman Declaration created the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) with founding members France, 

West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg – the process of European integration was set in motion.

 

EU-Ambassador Michael Reiterer highlighted with French political and economic adviser Jean Monnet's quote 

on the occasion of the Europe Day 2019:

“His vision of building union through cooperation ultimately brought about a new system of international relations. 

Today, the European Union stands as a beacon of what can be achieved through strong multilateral institutions and 

the rule of law – both in short supply these days.” (Click for full speech)

 

From TEIN*CC, the president Mr. Yong Hwan Chung and the senior manager Mr. Louis Hyunho Choi attended this 

event and celebrated the Europe day 2019.
