ROK encouraged to honor pledges

Foreign minister urges sustained efforts on resolving THAAD issue

Foreign Minister Wang Yi has used the Chinese saying "commitments must be honored" in urging Seoul to make sustained efforts to tackle the issue of deployment of a US anti-missile system in the Republic of Korea.

Wang made the comment when meeting with his ROK counterpart Kang Kyung-wha in Beijing on Wednesday amid public focus on progress in handling the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, which has X-band radar capable of covering part of China.
