President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol is scheduled to have a phone call with President Xi Jinping for the first time since he was elected on the afternoon of the 25th.
During the phone call with President Xi, it is expected that North Korea will intensively discuss countermeasures against the intercontinental ballistic missile launched yesterday.
It is interpreted that Xi's plan to speak on the phone before Yoon-elect took office reflects the recent dire situation on the Korean Peninsula.
