U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle visited Samsung Heavy Industries' Geoje shipyard to highlight Korea's advanced shipbuilding technology. She attended a ship launching ceremony on June 27, where she praised the craftsmanship and noted, "When we build (ships) with allies, we all rise together." Guilfoyle spoke to officials from Greece's Tsakos Group and U.S. energy company ExxonMobil, emphasizing the significance of cooperation among Korea, the United States, and Greece.
She highlighted, "A vibrant shipyard and sailors setting out for global trade, nations that stand proudly side by side, united by shared values and purpose beyond a simple contract." As Trump seeks to boost U.S. shipbuilding, Greece is a major global shipbuilding market, with Greek shipowners ordering numerous vessels. Guilfoyle's visit serves as a bridge for such cooperation, with her interest in Korea's shipbuilding industry evident through her participation in a previous signing ceremony with ONEX Group and Hanwha Ocean.
