S. Korea must lead in resolving N. Korean nuclear standoff: minister


SEOUL, March 13 (Yonhap) -- South Korean must play a leading role in resolving the North Korean nuclear standoff, a senior policymaker in Seoul said Saturday.

Unification Minister Hyun In-taek said at a gathering here the main reason for the uncertainties surrounding the Korean Peninsula can be found in North Korea's nuclear program. He added that because South Korea has a natural vested interest in what happens on the peninsula, it must push for change.
