The leader of the main opposition Liberty Korea Party claimed Wednesday that North Korea's development of intercontinental ballistic missiles is intended to keep US forces at bay and invade South Korea for unification on its own terms.
Hong Joon-pyo made the remarks during a lecture for university students, renewing calls for the liberal Moon Jae-in government to craft a clear road map for resolving the escalating nuclear standoff with the regime led by the "unpredictable" leader Kim Jong-un.
