Seoul Emphasizes Cooperation With Washington Against Pyongyang

According to SAEDNEWS, citing RIA Novosti, South Korean Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back said that Seoul will continue to deepen and expand cooperation with Washington in containing Pyongyang.

He emphasized that South Korea will work to simultaneously strengthen its alliance with the United States and its national defense capabilities.
