The top security advisor to President Moon Jae-in reaffirmed South Korea's commitment to a stronger alliance with the United States Monday during a meeting with the visiting chair of the US House Armed Services Committee, Seoul's presidential office said.
"National Security Office chairman Chung Eui-yong held a meeting with an eight-person delegation from the House Committee on Armed Services, led by committee chairman Mac Thornberry, and explained the direction of our government's basic policy to expand and develop the Korea-US alliance," the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said in a press release.
The meeting was held early Monday morning at an undisclosed location in Seoul.
Thornberry (R, Texas) reaffirmed the US Congress' bipartisan support for the Korea-US alliance, and expressed hope for enhanced cooperation with Seoul's new Moon Jae-in administration, Cheong Wa Dae said.
