Democratic Party "Congratulations on Trump's election...Hope to open a new chapter in the history of peace on the Korean Peninsula"

The Democratic Party of Korea said it sincerely congratulates U.S. Republican candidate Donald Trump on his election as the 47th president of the United States and hopes to open a new chapter in the history of peace on the Korean Peninsula.

In a written briefing, Senior Spokesman Cho Seung-rae stressed that Trump marked a milestone in the history of peace on the Korean Peninsula by serving as the 45th U.S. president and leading the first U.S.-North Korea summit in history.

The Korean Peninsula is now in a more dangerous vortex of tension than it was during Trump's first term in office, he said, pointing out that a new electricity is needed to melt the frozen tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

The Democratic Party also added that it will do its best to ensure that the strong South Korea-U.S. alliance shines with President-elect Trump for more than blood alliance.
