Busan: South Korea will hold an annual ceremony next week to commemorate the U.N. forces who fought in the 1950-53 Korean War, the veterans ministry said Friday. The U.N. Veterans International Memorial Day will take place at the U.N. Memorial Cemetery in Busan, some 330 kilometers southeast of Seoul, on Tuesday, according to the ministry.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the event will bring together 80 war veterans from 14 countries, including the United States, Britain, Colombia, Turkey, and Belgium, and their bereaved family members. The eldest veteran to participate is Luis A. Garcia Velandia from Colombia, aged 100, who fought in the battle of Old Baldy, alongside the South Korean and U.S. armies, to defeat Chinese troops in June 1952.

During their trip, slated for Saturday to Thursday, the war veterans will also pay their respects at the war memorial in Seoul on Sunday.
