Moon solicited support from Rasmussen over Seoul’s plan to push for North Korea’s denuclearization in a bold and fundamental manner, his spokesman Park Soo-hyun told reporters.
In response, Rasmussen said Denmark has concerns about North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, expressing strong support for South Korea’s move, Park added.
The two leaders also discussed ways to beef up their bilateral relations and economic cooperation.
Moon voiced hope for close cooperation with Denmark in the development of renewable energy and other sources of future energy.
