Acting President Han speaks with Biden by phone, reaffirms alliance

SEOUL, Dec. 15 (Yonhap) -- Acting President Han Duck-soo on Sunday held phone talks with U.S. President Joe Biden and vowed to maintain and develop the two countries' alliance, his office said.

Han held the talks after President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached by the National Assembly on Saturday over his short-lived imposition of martial law on Dec. 3.

"Our government will carry out our diplomatic and security policies without disruption and make efforts so that the South Korea-U.S. alliance continues to be maintained and developed without wavering," he said, according to his office.
