Acting President Han Duck-soo has called for thorough preparations to ensure timely cooperation with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on key issues, including diplomacy, defense and economy, the presidential office said Tuesday.
Han made the remark while presiding over an emergency National Security Council meeting Monday evening, shortly after being reinstated following the Constitutional Court's dismissal of his impeachment.
During the meeting, Han also urged the officials to "implement the necessary national-level policy measures without delay for our national interests and security" and to actively cooperate with the international community in this regard.
"The National Security Office at the presidential office should take the lead in maintaining a system that ensures close information sharing and coordination among ministries involved in diplomacy and security," he said. (Yonhap)
