South Korea's presidential office has positively assessed the outcome of the Joe Biden administration's review of its North Korea policy.

In a statement on Thursday, the top office said the National Security Council’s(NSC) standing committee concluded that the policy was drawn up in a realistic and practical way based on close coordination with Seoul.

While details have yet to be revealed, the White House said the new policy seeks a diplomatic solution through a practical approach towards achieving complete denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula.

The committee members agreed to reinforce communication and cooperation with related countries for the swift resumption of dialogue between Washington and Pyongyang, as well as the two Koreas.

The participants also decided to closely consult with Washington on pending alliance issues to make progress when the leaders of South Korea and the U.S. meet for their first face-to-face summit in Washington on May 21.
