The unification ministry says it welcomes remarks by U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun that Washington fully supports inter-Korean cooperation.
Ministry spokesman Yoh Sang-key relayed the ministry's stance to reporters Thursday.
During talks with Seoul's nuclear envoy Lee Do-hoon on Wednesday, Biegun called cooperation between the two Koreas an important factor in creating a stable environment on the Korean Peninsula.
