Secretary Blinken: ”Bipartisan support for the US-ROK alliance in the US is strong”

On the 14th (local time), the US and South Korea held a foreign ministers' meeting in Lima, Peru, on the occasion of the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Ministerial Meeting, and discussed US-South Korea relations, Japan-US-South Korea cooperation, the North Korea issue, and regional situations.
South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yol and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken first stated that "illegal military cooperation between Russia and North Korea is a serious threat to the security of Europe and the Indo-Pacific region.
In particular, they stated that they would closely monitor the possibility of Russia providing military support to North Korea in return for "sending troops to North Korea," and that they would respond in close cooperation with Russia.
Regarding the Japan-US-ROK summit scheduled to take place on the occasion of APEC, the two foreign ministers also noted that the three countries have discussed various issues such as security, economy and technology.
"We appreciate the achievements made in the field and have agreed to work together to thoroughly resolve the remaining issues between the United States and South Korea," Blinken said.
"There is strong bipartisan support," he said, adding, "The major achievements of cooperation between the U.S. and South Korea to date will be firmly passed on to the next U.S. administration."
This comment was seen as emphasizing the "unchanging" intention of the US-ROK alliance amid the transition to a new administration led by former US President Donald Trump, who was elected in the US presidential election.
