(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Seul-gi Lee = President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol had a phone call with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison for 25 minutes from 6 pm on the 16th.
Kim Eun-hye, the spokesperson for the elected president, announced this to the media.
The phone call with Prime Minister Morrison is the fourth of the calls between President-elect Yoon and the heads of major countries.
After winning the election, President-elect Yoon spoke on the phone with US President Joe Biden (10th), Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida (11th), and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (14th).
While President-elect Yoon presented ‘reconstruction of the ROK-US alliance and strengthening of a comprehensive strategic alliance’ in his diplomatic and security pledges, attention is focused on the new government’s participation in the Quad (a consultative body of four countries: the United States, Japan, Australia, and India).
It seems that President-elect Yoon’s fourth phone call with the Australian leader after the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom took into account the international political context in which the strategic competition between the United States and China is intensifying.
