South Korea's new President Lee Jae-myung said Wednesday he'll pursue dialogue with North Korea while bolstering a trilateral partnership with the US and Japan.
He said in his inaugural address after taking office that his government will deal with potential North Korean aggressions with “a strong deterrence” based on the solid South Korea-US military alliance.
But he would also leave the door open for dialogue with North Korea and establish peace on the Korean Peninsula.
He said he'll pursue pragmatic diplomacy and boost a trilateral Seoul-Washington-Tokyo cooperation based on the South Korea-US alliance.
Lee won a snap election Tuesday for a five-year term.
