Yoon Suk-yeol takes office as South Korea’s new president

Al Jazeera  

Conservative, who won election with a wafer-thin majority, offers ‘audacious’ plan to North Korea if it returns to denuclearisation efforts. Yoon Suk-yeol has been sworn in as South Korea’s new president promising an “audacious” plan to North Korea, and to reinforce the South’s democracy and freedoms. Yoon, a former prosecutor, won the election in March by the slimmest of margins, promising to “sternly deal” with the threat posed by Kim Jong Un’s regime, while leaving open the door to dialogue. “While North Korea’s nuclear weapon programmes are a threat not only to our security and that of Northeast Asia, the door to dialogue will remain open so that we can peacefully resolve this threat,” the new president told the audience of about 40,000 people on the lawn outside the national assembly. “If North Korea genuinely embarks on a process to complete denuclearisation, we are prepared to work with the international community to present an audacious plan that will vastly strengthen North Korea’s economy and improve the quality of life for its people.” Seated among the guests was Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan, Japanese foreign minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, and Doug Emhoff, the husband of US Vice President Kamala Harris, are also attending.
