SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea’s presidential office said on Wednesday that it will build a “perfect” security partnership with a new U.S. administration.
A high-ranking presidential official told reporters South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was expected to speak to the U.S. president-elect in coming days.
The official, who declined to be identified, also told reporters that North Korean troops have not yet fully engaged in combat against Ukrainian forces.
There was a necessity for South Korea to send a monitoring team to the war in Ukraine, the official said, adding the National Assembly’s agreement is not required for sending such personnel for a specific purpose and limited time.
