US Reaffirms Coop. With S. Korea Under Acting Pres.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) TOKYO, March 25 (KUNA) -- The US reaffirmed its commitment to working with South Korea under acting President Han Duck-soo, Han's office said Tuesday, in the first message from Washington after Han was reinstated, Yonhap News Agency reported.
"The US is committed to working with Acting President and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and the ROK Government. We are confident in the democratic resilience of the ROK and the Korean People," the message from the White House read, as released by Han's office.
ROK is South Korea's official name, the Republic of Korea.
South Korea's Constitutional Court ruled Monday to dismiss Han's impeachment 87 days after the National Assembly voted for the motion over his alleged role in suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol's December 3 declaration of martial law.
Meanwhile, Han has called for thorough preparations to ensure timely cooperation with US President Donald Trump's administration on key issues, including diplomacy, defense and economy, the Presidential Office said Tuesday.
Han made the remark while presiding over an emergency National Security Council meeting Monday evening, shortly after being reinstated following the Constitutional Court's dismissal of his impeachment.
During the meeting, Han also urged the officials to "implement the necessary national-level policy measures without delay for our national interests and security" and to actively cooperate with the international community in this regard. (end)
