SEOUL, Sept. 17 (Yonhap) -- The U.S. Embassy in South Korea plans to run an advertisement promoting the South Korea-U.S. alliance on the country's high-speed rail network as part of a campaign marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, officials said Thursday.

The 30-second video will run for one month on both KTX and SRT trains, featuring the tagline "Two Souls, One Story" and highlighting the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, according to the officials.

The video uses a series of parallel images to highlight the shared history and complementary strengths of South Korea and the United States. The Statue of Liberty in New York is juxtaposed with a statue of King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), while a U.S. space launch is paired with a South Korean ship cutting through the waves.

It concludes with the message "Let's open the next 250 years together."

In an op-ed sent to Yonhap News Agency upon her arrival in South Korea as the new U.S. ambassador, Michelle Steel described the U.S.-ROK alliance as "the linchpin of peace, security, and prosperity for Northeast Asia, the broader Indo-Pacific, and beyond."

"Our economic ties, our combined defense posture, and the enduring friendship between our peoples are evidence of a partnership that serves both nations and maintains the stability of the region," she said.

首尔，9月17日（韩联社）——官员周四表示，美国驻韩国大使馆计划在韩国高速铁路网络上投放广告，宣传韩美同盟，作为纪念美国独立250周年活动的一部分。

据官方消息，这段 30 秒的视频将在 KTX 和 SRT 列车上播放一个月，标语为“两个灵魂，一个故事”，旨在纪念美国独立 250 周年。

这段视频运用一系列平行画面，突显了韩国和美国共同的历史和互补优势。纽约的自由女神像与朝鲜王朝（1392-1910）世宗大王的雕像并置，而美国的太空发射则与一艘韩国战舰劈波斩浪的画面交相辉映。

最后，它以“让我们携手开启下一个250年”的信息作结。

在抵达韩国担任美国新任大使后，米歇尔·斯蒂尔向韩联社发表了一篇评论文章，将美韩同盟描述为“东北亚、更广泛的印太地区乃至更远地区的和平、安全和繁荣的关键”。

她说：“我们的经济联系、联合防御态势以及我们两国人民之间持久的友谊，都证明了这种伙伴关系有利于两国人民，并维护了该地区的稳定。”
