The President of the Republic of Korea, Lee Jae-myung, sent a letter of gratitude to the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov, for assistance in evacuating the country's citizens from Iran. This was reported by "The Korea Times" on Monday, citing the Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae), the presidential administration of the Republic of Korea.

As noted in the letter, as a result of cooperation with the Turkmen side, 25 South Korean citizens in Iran, as well as four Iranian citizens who are family members of the Koreans, safely crossed the border and arrived in Turkmenistan last week.
