Office of National Security chief Wi Sung-lac said, "Security issues also move faster when the presidential office and the White House are involved," as he visited Washington, D.C.
Arriving at Dulles International Airport on the 16th, the Deputy Minister met with reporters and said, "I visited the United States because I thought it would be good to have high-level talks to lend political weight to implementing the summit agreement between Korea and the United States."
During this visit, the Deputy Minister is expected to discuss implementation plans included in the summit agreement, such as Korea's uranium enrichment, reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, and construction of nuclear-powered submarines.
The Deputy Minister added, "I plan to meet not only Secretary of State and White House national security adviser Marco Rubio, but also Energy Secretary Chris Wright, the minister in charge of the nuclear sector."
