The United States has told South Korea that it is looking forward to cooperating with Seoul‘s acting president in light of the recent parliamentary passing of the presidential impeachment bill.

South Korean presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said Sunday that Avril Haines, White House deputy national security advisor, spoke to Cho Tae-yong, Seoul’s deputy chief of the National Security Office, on Saturday night.

According to Cheong Wa Dae, Haines reiterated the U.S. commitment to improving the Korea-U.S. alliance and to working with South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, who took over as acting president following the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye last Friday.

Hwang will remain at the post while the Constitutional Court reviews the case to determine whether to endorse or reject the impeachment. It has 180 days to do so.

Cheong Wa Dae also said Haines stressed that the United States will remain an ally, a friend and a partner for South Korea, and that the two countries will continue to cooperate closely on matters of mutual interest, including North Korea‘s nuclear problem. (Yonhap)
