Korea-U.S. nuclear accord to go into effect Wednesday

Nov. 25, 2015 - 11:17 By KH디지털2

A new nuclear treaty between South Korea and the United States will take effect later Wednesday, a government official said.
  

Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se plans to exchange a related memorandum of understanding with U.S. Ambassador to Seoul Mark Lippert in a ceremony slated for 6 p.m., he added.
  

In April, the two sides struck the deal to allow Seoul to expand its peaceful nuclear activity. South Korea also left the door open for the possibility of enriching uranium or reprocessing spent nuclear fuel.
  

The accord was formally signed in June. (Yonhap)
