The new leader of South Korea's main opposition party called for President Park Geun-hye on Saturday to clarify her North Korea policy of "trustpolitik," saying that it's rather vague and may fall short of easing tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Kim Han-gil, 60, became the new leader of the Democratic Party (DP), which has been previously known as the Democratic United Party, at the leadership election earlier in the day.
"With the only title of 'trustpolitik' proposed by President Park, it is not easy for us to convince North Korea to change its attitude," Kim told reporters after the election.
