SEOUL, December 23 (AJP) - South Korea's ambassador to Romania Rim Kap-soo has been named as the country's chief negotiator for nuclear energy-related talks with the U.S.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday that Rim, appointed the previous day, will lead a task force to revise a decades-old agreement with Washington that bans South Korea from reprocessing spent nuclear fuel and enriching uranium.
Rim, who worked at the International Atomic Energy Agency in 2016, is considered an expert in the fields of nuclear energy and nonproliferation.
After completing his commitments in Romania, he will return to Seoul in early January to assume his new role.
