Korea briefed the United States, Japan and China on Monday on the Constitutional Court's ruling to dismiss the impeachment of acting President Han Duck-soo, the foreign ministry here said.
Earlier in the day, the Constitutional Court dismissed Han's impeachment, reinstating him both as acting president and prime minister nearly three months after he was impeached by the National Assembly in connection with President Yoon Suk Yeol's short-lived martial law imposition.
The foreign ministry said that First Vice Foreign Minister Kim Hong-kyun held a phone call with acting U.S. Ambassador to Korea, Joseph Yun, explaining the court's decision and urging the maintenance of a solid alliance between their countries.
Yun underscored the U.S.' unwavering support for a solid alliance between the countries, calling for continued close communication, according to the ministry.
Deputy Foreign Minister Chung Byung-won also held separate phone calls with Taisuke Mibae, deputy chief of mission at the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, and Chinese Ambassador Dai Bing, agreeing to cooperate closely to steadily advance bilateral ties with both neighbors. (Yonhap)
