We will make sure that there is no vacuum in the strengthening of the South Korea-U.S. alliance or in the progress for peace on the Korean Peninsula. We will do our best to make sure the achievements made so far with the Trump administration are carried over and developed further with the incoming government.
Moon said based on experience and the accomplishments made so far... Seoul will seek progress in denuclearization and establishing peace on the peninsula.
He also expressed hope of fostering an environment for new opportunities in inter-Korean relations.
In line with strong coordination between South Korea and the U.S., I hope the two Koreas, as direct players of Korean Peninsula affairs, will be able to play a more important role.
Moon also called for continued efforts between the allies on the economic front, especially... highlighting their shared goals of carbon neutrality and tackling climate change.
He also vowed to work with Biden on shared values, such as democracy, peace, human rights,....as well as on global issues, such as COVID-19.
In the meantime, President Moon has pledged continued cooperation with the Trump administration until the very end, including the foreign ministers' meeting scheduled for Tuesday in Washington.
