President Moon Jae-in of South Korea has said that one goal for his meeting with President Biden is bringing North Korea “back on the path of dialogue.”

A Biden administration official says the United States will be at the forefront of efforts to help rebuild Gaza, The New York Times reports. 

President Biden said he was “deeply concerned” about the ongoing nuclear threat from North Korea and appointed a new envoy to open diplomatic channels to the country as he met with the leader of South Korea at the White House on Friday.

Standing next to President Moon Jae-in of South Korea at the end of a full day of meetings, Mr. Biden pledged to avoid what he said were the mistakes of past administrations, but offered few details about what he called a new coordination with allies in the region.

“We closely studied what others have tried, and what worked and what hasn’t worked. And, you know, we’re under no illusions how difficult this is. None whatsoever,” Mr. Biden said from the State Dining Room. “The past four administrations have not achieved the objective. It’s an incredibly difficult objective.”

Mr. Biden also announced that the United States would fully vaccinate 550,000 South Korean troops who interact closely with American soldiers, and said that the two countries would cooperate more closely to speed up production of coronavirus vaccines for the world’s poorer nations.

During the meeting, the two leaders also announced a series of South Korean investments in the United States in semiconductors and batteries for electric cars — ways of deepening a technological alliance amid heightened competition with China.
