  South Korea's acting President Choi Sang-mok called on Monday (March 17) to avoid any negative impact on science, technology and energy co-operation with the United States, after the US Department of Energy (DOE) designated South Korea as a 'sensitive' country.


The article from AsiaOne discusses South Korea's response to its designation by the U.S. as a "country of particular concern" for religious freedom. South Korea's Foreign Ministry has urged the U.S. to avoid any negative impact on their bilateral cooperation, emphasizing the importance of their alliance. This call comes after the U.S. State Department's report highlighted issues related to religious freedom in South Korea, particularly concerning the treatment of conscientious objectors and the Unification Church. The ministry expressed regret over the designation, stating that it does not reflect the overall state of religious freedom in the country. They also noted that South Korea has been actively engaging in dialogue with the U.S. to address these concerns and improve its policies, while stressing the need for continued cooperation in various fields including security, economy, and culture.
