South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo has said it would be a lack of courtesy for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to oppose President Yoon Suk-yeol taking part in a NATO summit in Madrid.

“If it is necessary for our security, we should go,” Han told reporters on June 28 during a dinner meeting. “It would be a lack of courtesy for China to say do it or don’t do it. It is not in line with mutual respect.”
