South Korea and the United States have agreed to fully resume their bilateral diplomatic and security schedules postponed due to President Yoon Suk Yeol's botched martial law attempt.

According to Seoul's foreign ministry, first vice foreign minister Kim Hong-kyun and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell made the agreement during their talks in Washington D.C. on Monday.

The two sides discussed bilateral relations, trilateral cooperation with Japan as well as North Korean issues.

It marks the first meeting between senior diplomats of the two countries since Yoon’s martial law decree.

In opening remarks before the meeting, Campbell underscored Washington’s confidence in South Korea and deep belief in the country's democracy and its constitutional provisions.

Campbell added that the U.S. wishes South Korea well in a challenging period and hopes their bilateral partnership will remain strong and resolute in a critical time. 

In response, Kim thanked the U.S. for its unwavering support and trust in the bilateral alliance and South Korea’s democracy.

Kim assured the government is operating stably under Acting President Han Duck-soo, and what will unfold in South Korea will follow the democratic procedure in accordance with the Constitution and rule of law.
