Minister of Foreign Affairs Cho Hyun expresses concern over China, and says the USFK will remain in South Korea.
Cho Hyun, the Minister of Foreign Affairs under the Lee Jae-myung Administration, spoke with the Washington Post after a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
In his interview, Cho stated that although South Korea wishes to remain in good terms with the People's Republic of China, the country's continued expansionism across the South China Sea as well as the Yellow Sea is becoming increasingly problematic.
Cho's comments came as a surprise as it was the first time a South Korean diplomat has openly referenced China's territorial disputes.
Minister Cho also spoke about the USFK, stating that there were no concerns that the number of troops stationed would be reduced. (A comment most likely added to ease worries from the Korean public about USFK retreating out of South Korea.)
