[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lee Nak-yeon, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 10th, "North Korea did not carry out any strategic provocations ahead of the inauguration of the U.S. Joe Biden administration," and added, "It seems that North Korea is placing importance on dialogue."

On the same day, Lee said on Facebook, "The 8th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea is almost over," and "This time, North Korea demanded the withdrawal of the U.S.'s hostile policy toward North Korea. They told us that the future of inter-Korean relations depends on the South's attitude."

Lee also said, "The domestic issues in the U.S. and the deadlock in inter-Korean relations are not easy. Nevertheless, the government is closely cooperating with the Biden administration to seek dialogue to resolve inter-Korean relations, and hopes North Korea will respond positively," and added, "The Democratic Party will provide all possible support."
