South Korea's top diplomat says, the government has no plans to reverse the deployment of an advanced US missile defense system, or THAAD. Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha made the remark on Monday, before South Korean President Moon Jae-in meets US President Donald Trump in Washington for their first summit this week. <br/><br/>Speaking at a security forum in Seoul, Kang said the deployment of THAAD was a decision based on South Korea's alliance with the United States. She said the government has no intention of reversing the commitments made in the spirit of the bilateral alliance. <br/><br/>She indicated that the government will seek public support for the THAAD deployment through democratic procedures. <br/><br/>There is persistent opposition in South Korea over the THAAD deployment. The US and South Korea have not agreed on when the system will be started.
