South Korea's ruling party chief on Monday offered to send special envoys to the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to resolve the Korean Peninsula's nuclear issue.
Choo Mi-ae, chairwoman of the Democratic Party, told a parliamentary plenary session that the government should never stop or give up dialogue efforts and should oppose any war breaking out on the peninsula.
She said the South Korean government should actively urge and mediate dialogue between the United States and the DPRK within the possible range.
Strongly denouncing the DPRK's sixth nuclear test, the ruling party head said the government and the party would sternly deal with "the reckless DPRK provocations that lead the peninsula into a crisis."
However, Choo repeated the need for dialogue, saying dialogue and peaceful measures should be pursued to the end to prevent any war in any case.
