| Roh Says South Korea Stands By U.S. Side in Nuclear Standoff |
| 2003-02-17 |
| President-elect Roh Moo-hyun said South Korea stands by the U.S. side in its nuclear standoff with North Korea and wants to contribute to a peaceful resolution of the dispute, according to Roh's aides Friday. "Our government is not trying to mediate between North Korea and the United States," Roh was quoted as saying recently in an written interview with BusinessWeek. "but we're trying to contribute to peacefully resolving the issue, standing by the U.S. side based on the close Korea-U.S. alliance." In the interview, Roh also presented several "principles" he sticks to in resolving the nuclear issue, including not allowing the North to go nuclear, peacefully resolving the issue and working closely with the United States and Japan as well as Seoul playing a greater role. As far as a lot of us are concerned, you can play the entire role. Let the Frenchies know if you need anything, okay? |
