S. Korea to hold rotating presidency of UN Security Council next month


WASHINGTON: South Korea will undertake the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council (UNSC) next month, Seoul’s top envoy to the UN said Thursday.

According to Yonhap News Agency, Seoul last held the UNSC presidency in May 2014.

Ambassador Hwang Joon-kook said in a press meeting that South Korea, a non-permanent UNSC member, will hold the presidency for one month-a position that rotates among the council’s 15 member states on a monthly basis.
