كوريا الجنوبية: لا قرار بعد بشأن الانتشار العسكري بمضيق هرمز
(opens the publisher’s site)South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said Thursday Seoul has not decided on deploying military assets to the Strait of Hormuz, before Washington talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
- Cho Hyun departed for Washington on Thursday for talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
- Cho told reporters the military contribution Washington seeks will top the agenda, but Seoul's position has not yet been determined.
- Cho said the government is studying the matter from multiple angles, citing participation in international cooperation while prioritizing citizens' safety and freedom of navigation in the Strait.
- Trump wrote in August he asked President Lee Jae-myung to join Iranian nuclear disarmament efforts and was told "no need for that," calling Seoul's contribution insufficient.
