WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 03rd February, 2023) US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet with his South Korean Foreign Minister Jin Park on Friday to discuss a range of issues related to the strategic alliance between the two countries, State Department spokesperson Ned price said.
"You'll have an opportunity to hear directly from both of them in the context of that bilateral engagement tomorrow, but the ROK (South Korea) is a treaty ally of ours, there are a number of issues that will be on the table," Price said during a press briefing on Thursday.
The two diplomats will discuss the situation around North Korea as well as bilateral priorities on the economic, diplomatic, and political fronts, Price added.
