President Yoon Suk-yeol argues that missiles and nuclear weapons pose an existential threat to the region.
SEOUL: South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol will push for a stronger response to North Korea’s missile and nuclear programmes at summit talks this week, arguing that the weapons pose an existential threat to the region, he told media.
“The Republic of Korea and Asean must join forces to respond decisively and cooperate closely on North Korea’s denuclearisation,” Yoon told Indonesia’s Kompas newspaper in an interview published on Tuesday. Yoon said South Korea and the 10-member Asean must enhance their cooperation “so the rules-based international order will be able to take firm root in the Indo-Pacific region”.
