SEOUL, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) -- South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-han, who serves as acting president following the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye, said Monday that he will push for policy coordination with the new U.S. administration.
Hwang said in a New Year's address that coordination with the United States will be actively pursued in policies to develop the South Korea-U.S. alliance, tackle the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s nuclear issue and enhance the bilateral ties on trade and economy.
