Mr Priit PIKAMÄ E Chief Justice Supreme Court Estonia Seoul, 22 October 2014 Dear Chief Justice Priit PIKAMÄ E, Although it has been three weeks or so since the 3rd Congress of the World Conference on Constitutional Justice took place, it feels as if time flew by, maybe because we went through much during the four-day Congress period. Indeed, our team at the Korean Constitutional Court worked hard for the success of the 3rd Congress, but we cannot forget to appreciate the Venice Commission, particularly President Gianni Buquicchio, for their great work and dedication to making the 3rd Congress a big success. Most importantly, all that work would have been meaningless, had it not been for the delegates who graced us with their presence at the Congress. I offer my deep gratitude once again to your delegation for taking part in the Congress despite the long flight. Not only have we shared our wisdom and experience through active discussions on the topic of “Constitutional Justice and Social Integration” during the Congress, we have also deepened our understanding and friendship with each other through various social programs. This will be certainly a valuable asset for both the Constitutional Court of Korea and your Court to take a step forward for further development of constitutional justice around the world. The Constitutional Court of Korea will cherish the activities and results of this Congress, including the Seoul Communiqué, learn from this experience, and develop the results further, while cementing our friendships that have developed during the Congress. Reiterating my appreciation for your support and encouragement, I wish all the best to you and your Court, and look forward to meeting you again in the near future. Yours sincerely, Park Han-Chul President Constitutional Court of Korea
