South Korean Constitution Day
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to members of the Canadian South Korean community on the occasion of South Korean Constitution Day.
The South Korean Constitution or The Constitution of the Republic of Korea was proclaimed on July 17, 1948 three years after the Allied victory in World War II, ending the 35-year colonial rule of Korea by the Japanese Empire.
It established the structure of government in South Korea - the executive, judicial and legislative branches. The Constitution has been revised many times since it was first promulgated or made public in 1948.
Canada and South Korea are involved in ongoing Free Trade negotiations. Both countries share membership in several multilateral fora including the G20, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Canada is a proud multicultural nation that embraces a wide variety of cultures and heritages. Canadians of South Korean heritage help to foster this identity and strengthen the fabric of our society. Members of the South Korean Diaspora in Canada have made, and continue to make, significant contributions in a number of areas including sports, business, the arts, medicine and public service.
Canada has attracted, and continues to attract, people from all over the world. We will continue to work together to build our nation and enhance our international reputation. As the Liberal Critic for Multiculturalism, I look forward to our ongoing work in building a stronger Canada.
On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada, please accept our wishes on the occasion of South Korean Constitution Day.
The Honourable Jim Karygiannis, P.C., M.P.
