SEOUL (BLOOMBERG) — The United States and South Korea will conduct joint military drills as «normal» after the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Pyeongchang end in March, Defence Ministry spokesman Choi Hyun Soo said in a briefing on Thursday (Jan 25).
The announcement of the exercises, delayed from earlier this year to accommodate North Korea’s participation in the Games, came hours after Pyongyang issued an appeal to «all Koreans» at home and abroad to increase exchanges and cooperation to facilitate unification.
In a message that read more like a sermon than a propaganda dispatch — sentences began with pleas such as «Let us» and «Let all Koreans» — the state-run Korean Central News Agency said the regime sought a «breakthrough for independent reunification» without the assistance of other nations.
