South Korean President Moon Jae-in said his country wouldn’t participate in the U.S.-led diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, citing a need for China’s help to “enable denuclearization” on the Korean Peninsula.
“We have not received a request from any other country, including the United States, to participate in a diplomatic boycott. We are not considering a boycott measure,” Moon told reporters after a summit with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Dec. 13.
