US and South Korea to boost their alliace, South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Thursday tweeted that “I just had a great conversation with President @JoeBiden @POTUS” and that he welcomed “America's return” in the midst of global challenges such as COVID-19, climate change and economic polarization. Moon said he and Biden “pledged to further upgrade the Republic of Korea(ROK), South Korea's formal name. ROK-US alliance, an alliance that is anchored in shared values.” “We will always stand together as we work for peace on the Korean Peninsula and tackle global challenges,” Moon said.
Moon, who took office in 2017, was once a driving force behind now-dormant diplomacy between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and former President Donald Trump. The Kim-Trump talks collapsed in early 2019 when the Americans rejected North Korea's calls for extensive sanctions relief in return for limited denuclearization steps. Biden has called Kim a “thug” and criticised Trump for seeking made-for-TV summits with Kim.
