Bid to restart talks Former adviser tapped as foreign minister President Moon Jae-in tapped former national security adviser Chung Eui-yong as his new foreign minister Wednesday, replacing Kang Kyung-wha. The nomination is taken to mean Moon's unswerving determination to revive the "peace process" on the Korean Peninsula, which has remained stalled since the collapse of a second North Korea-U.S. summit in Hanoi in February 2019. Chung is expected to put his top priority on reviving the dialogue between Pyongyang and Washington in close consultation with President Joe Biden's administration, given his abundant experience in leading the process from the start of the Moon administration.
