According to the Washington Post website on April 14, South Korean President-Elect Yin Xiyue said in an exclusive interview with the newspaper that South Korea must implement a foreign policy commensurate with its economic and cultural status and further strengthen the South Korean US alliance.

The report quoted Yin Xiyue as saying: “we should not only focus on relations with North Korea, but also expand diplomatic width in the EU and Asia based on South Korea US relations. We should play a greater role and fulfill our responsibilities as one of the world’s top ten economies.”

According to the report, South Korea’s economic and cultural influence has surged sharply, but it has been a “passive player on the global stage” in recent years. Yin Xiyue’s relevant statement shows that he wants to change this situation. (compiled / Jin Jinlong)
