Seoul, May 10 South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol visited the National Cemetery in Seoul on Wednesday to honour the country's fallen heroes on the occasion of his first anniversary in office.
Yoon laid flowers and burned incense in front of a memorial at the cemetery, where the nation's war veterans, independence fighters, past presidents and others are laid to rest, reports Yonhap News Agency.
"Together with the great people, I will create a country of freedom and innovation, a country that responsibly contributes to world peace and prosperity," he wrote in a guest book.
