South Korea will neither develop nor possess nuclear arms, President Moon Jae-in said Wednesday, amid conservative opposition parties' call to redeploy US tactical nuclear weapons.
Moon also renewed his call on North Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions.
"In accordance with the declaration of denuclearization jointly announced by the South and the North, a nuclear-armed North Korea can neither be tolerated nor accepted. We too will not develop or possess nukes," the president said in his second state of the nation address at the National Assembly.
The national address came as the government was set to submit its budget bill to the parliament, requesting a 7.1 percent spike in its spending to 429 trillion won ($383.9 billion) in 2018.
The opposition parties have recently been calling for a redeployment of US tactical nukes here to counter North Korea's enhancing asymmetrical weapons of war. Such a call quickly gained momentum after the communist North staged its sixth and most powerful nuclear test so far in September.
Hong Joon-pyo, head of the main opposition Liberty Korea Party, even flew to the United States last week on a self-imposed mission to convince US policymakers to consider redeploying US tactical nuclear arms to South Korea.
