Kim Sung-han, who advises Yoon Seok-youl, on foreign policy, also said North Korea is likely to resume weapons testing, but his team aims to devise a roadmap with significant and swift benefits for Pyongyang if it takes concrete actions to denuclearize.
Yoon is the conservative main opposition People Power Party¡¯s candidate to run in the March 9 election, and is leading a tight race against Lee Jae-myung from outgoing President Moon Jae-in¡¯s party.
