From now on, let’s take a look at how Biden’s election may change relations and the economy between Korea and the United States. Today (eighth) President Moon Jae-in also congratulated Biden-elect via Twitter. “The ROK-US alliance is strong,” he said, “let’s go together,” but I’ll go to the Blue House immediately.
Reporter Kim So-hyun and President Moon congratulations on the message.
[기자]Just before Biden’s victory speech, around 10 a.m., President Moon congratulated him with a tweet.
“Our partnership is strong. We look forward to working together.” I wrote this in Korean and English.
“Let’s go together”, a slogan that symbolizes the alliance between the United States and Korea, was written in Korean, not “Let’s go together.”
Elect Biden wrote the same expression in a recent article in the Korean media.
However, the word win was not used in the congratulatory message.
[앵커]Maybe not an official celebration or a phone call, but through social media. Now that we do not accept the results of President Trump, it seems that we have no other choice.
[기자]First of all, it seems to have taken into account the situation in which the current US president, Trump, publicly disagrees with the presidential election.
Therefore, not only us, but also the leaders of Japan, Canada and Europe congratulated them on social media.
In particular, even before January next year, when the new president takes office, there are many issues like defense cost negotiations, so we are more cautious.
It is a point to keep in mind when holding an official celebration or a phone call.
During that time, diplomatic procedures have been formalized after the prosecution of one of the parties.
Even during the 2000 US presidential elections, there is a precedent that former President Kim Dae-jung called only in December, when Al Gore admitted defeat.
[앵커]Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha did not address the United States today. Are there plans to meet with the Biden-elect staff?
[기자]First of all, I was invited by Secretary of State Pompeo.
The meeting of the foreign ministers of Korea and the United States will be held at the 9th local time.
However, Minister Kang, who met with reporters at the airport this morning, said that although it is a delicate time, communication is always available.
I haven’t specifically stated who I’ll be meeting with, but it seems like I’ll be focusing on building a network with Biden.
[앵커]Good. I was the reporter Kim So-hyun at the Blue House.
