South Korea will continue to closely work with the United States regardless of the outcome of the upcoming presidential election as support for the bilateral alliance is “bipartisan,” the presidential office said Monday.
US President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s candidate to face Republican Donald Trump in the November election.
Yonhap News Agency reported a senior presidential official as saying that the Yoon Suk Yeol administration will continue to work with the US to further develop the bilateral alliance. The official did not mention Biden, saying he would refrain from commenting on the domestic political situation of another country.
“Support for the Korea-US alliance within the US is bipartisan, and our government will continue to work closely with the US to further develop the global comprehensive strategic alliance,” the presidential official said.
