Moon taps new foreign minister to revive talks

China Daily | Updated: 2021-01-21 00:00

SEOUL/WASHINGTON-The Republic of Korea's President Moon Jae-in on Wednesday named career diplomat Chung Eui-yong as the country's new foreign minister, just hours before Joe Biden's move into the White House as US president.

The nomination of Chung, 74, to replace Kang Kyung-wha was seen as a bid to help revive stalled denuclearization talks with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The reshuffle came two days after Moon called for Biden to hold dialogue with the DPRK to build on progress made by DPRK top leader Kim Jong-un and US president Donald Trump at their first meeting in Singapore.
