MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the US delegation of five lawmakers from the Senate and the House of Representatives and headed by Sen. Brian Schatz arrived in Seoul. The delegation held talks with South Korea's First Vice Foreign Minister Lim Sung-nam.
"The Senator mentioned that despite somewhat heated discussions on foreign policy in the US presidential election campaign in 2016, the US Congress, both the Senate and the House of Representatives, renders bipartisan support on the importance of the ROK-US cooperation across the board, including foreign and military affairs, economy and culture, which buttresses the bilateral ties," the ministry said in a statement.
Lim, in his turn, called for strengthening bilateral cooperation between Seoul and Washington and asked the delegation to make more efforts to get a broader support to crucial matters from the United States.
