Our government is busy watching the results of the US presidential election.
Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha is scheduled to go to the United States early next week, and in particular, it was confirmed by our interview that Kang is meeting with Biden's diplomatic and security lines.
For more information, I will connect with reporters from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Reporter Kim Hye-young and Minister Kang Kyung-hwa decided to meet, so what are the diplomatic and security lines of candidate Biden?
<Reporter>
Yes, Minister Kang
Kyung-hwa
is visiting Washington from the 8th to the 11th.
Officially, it was in response to the invitation of Secretary of State Pompeo, who canceled his visit to Korea last month.
So first, on the 9th, we will hold a meeting with Minister Pompeo and the foreign minister.
Biden's Foreign Affairs and Security Line meets on the 10th the following day.
Delaware Senator Chris Koons will meet with Michelle Flornoy, founder of West Exegek Advisors, a strategic advisory firm, a foreign ministry official said.
These are the figures mentioned in the Biden administration as candidates for the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense respectively.
Minister Kang's remarks to the National Assembly today (5th) seem to have this schedule in mind.
[Kang Kyung-hwa/Minister of Foreign Affairs: Biden, President-elect or Trump's re-election, there are communication channels that we have been well established so far.]

Today at the Blue House, the Standing Committee of the National Security Council was held. What was the discussion at the meeting?
<Reporter> The
NSC Standing Committee was held at 3 pm today and the results were reported to President Moon.
The Blue House only had a written briefing.
This is the fundamental content of maintaining close cooperation, promoting the existing schedule between Korea and the United States as scheduled, and examining the impact on our economy and industry.
As the result has not yet been finalized, it can be interpreted as being cautious in public speaking.
<Anchor> The
counting of the votes is still in progress, but the trend is gradually leaning toward Biden's candidate. If so, there will be changes in the US-Korea relations as well as in the future?
<Reporter>
The official position of the current government is that Candidate Biden not only emphasizes the ROK-US alliance, but also sympathizes with the denuclearization through ROK-US cooperation.
Such was the content of the comments from the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Unification that came out today at the National Assembly.
However, internally, the democratic party's traditional denuclearization keynote: strategic patience, and the possibility of prioritizing working-level negotiations over talks between the leaders of the Democratic Party is an atmosphere of contemplating the US and North Korea strategies.
