ISTANBUL
South Korea’s National Assembly passed a bipartisan resolution Thursday in favor of enhancing the partnership with the US and fostering collaboration between the two allies, the Korea Herald reported.
The resolution was jointly written by People Power Party Rep. Kim Gunn and Democratic Party of Korea Rep. Kim Byung-joo, despite the rivalry between the two parties.
It stresses that the South Korea-US alliance is a key foundation for maintaining peace on the Korean Peninsula and an essential pillar for global peace and prosperity.
The resolution identified the denuclearization of North Korea as a common objective that South Korea and the US are dedicated to accomplishing.
It expressed support for the Donald Trump administration and is committed to efforts to strengthen cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence, nuclear energy and trade.
"The National Assembly will strive to fortify South Korea and the US' joint defense posture to consolidate peace on the Korean Peninsula and strive for a nuclear weapons-free Korean Peninsula, and expand cooperation in emerging security fields such as cyber and space," it said.
