Lawmakers from ROK seek solution

Discussions held at seminar in Beijing over bilateral relations in light of missile deployment

The controversy surrounding the China visit of six lawmakers from the Republic of Korea demonstrates split opinion and the opposition ROK President Park Geun-hye faces in her decision to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system.

The six anti-THAAD lawmakers from the main opposition Minju Party of Korea, all in their first terms in the National Assembly, embarked on a three-day visit to Beijing on Monday. They attended a closed-door seminar on Chinese-ROK ties organized by the Chinese think tank Pangoal Institution on Tuesday.
