英语课
South Korean President-elect Park Geun-hye met with US and South Korean army officials on Friday to ascertain 1 her country's military readiness following North Korea's recent nuclear test.
"The South Korean government and I will not accept North Korea's possession of nuclear weapons and we will be on high alert 2 with a strong South Korea - US alliance 3."
North Korea carried out its latest nuclear test earlier this month.
Park has promised to adopt a more balanced policy towards North Korea.
Kim Young-kyoo, Professor in the Department of International Studies at Hanyang University in Seoul, says Park's policies towards North Korea are very different from outgoing Presiden Lee Myung-bak's.
"President-elect Park Geun-hye's policy on North Korea is based on trust and conversation compared to President Lee Myung-bak's policy."
Park will be sworn in on Monday and become the first female South Korean president.
