First meeting of South Korea-US Nuclear Advisory Group to take place on July 18
(VOVWORLD) -The first meeting of the South Korea-US Nuclear Advisory Group will take place on July 18 in Seoul, said the South Korean presidential office.
The meeting will discuss "information sharing, consultation mechanism and joint planning and execution designed to bolster nuclear deterrence against North Korea."
South Korea's Deputy National Security Adviser Kim Tae-hyo and US National Security Council Coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell will co-chair the meeting.
The nuclear advisory group was first announced during a bilateral summit in Washington in April amid growing calls in South Korea to build nuclear weapons, a move the US has opposed.
