Queen"s Second Day in Korea

'While Queen Elizabeth the Second is concentrating on Korea's traditional culture and education, the Duke of Edinburgh will focus on England-related companies and construction sites instead.'
The British Embassy on April 20 explained the royal couple's separate schedule.
The Queen on the second day in Korea visited Daewoo Motor's design center in Seoul with the Duke and then went to an animation studio in Samsung-dong. Then the monarch visited Ewha Womens University and Insa-dong a traditional arts area.
The Duke took a less cultural tour to Sangam-dong 2002 World Cup Korea Stadium, which is under construction.
A source from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade said, 'The Queen is symbol of the nation and leader of civil diplomacy, the different schedules allow the Royals to contact more Koreans. The Queen's visiting places are focused mainly on economic venues for better mutual economic opportunities.
