SEOUL, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said on Monday that her country could seek diplomatic room for a denuclearized Korean Peninsula if the peninsula's situations are managed well by mid-October.
The South Korean top diplomat told a press conference that if situations are managed well on the major occasions in October, room would be created to run diplomacy for denuclearization dialogue.
Major anniversaries would fall in October, including the 10th anniversary of the Oct. 4 joint declaration, the outcome of a 2007 inter-Korean summit meeting between late South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun and late DPRK leader Kim Jong Il, father of the current leader Kim Jong Un.
Kang said South Korea would patiently make efforts to ease tensions on the peninsula and resolve humanitarian issues between the two sides, though Pyongyang had yet to respond to it.
