 CNN.com - S. Korea FM quits amid policy flap - Jan. 14, 2004
Yoon resigned to take responsibility for failing to supervise and direct foreign policy in line with directives from the South Korean administration, a statement from the presidential personnel secretary said, according to Reuters.
The departure of Yoon follows accusations from Roh on Wednesday that ministry officials were blocking and openingly criticizing his foreign policy agenda.
Yoon's resignation also comes as South Korea is working with China, the United States, Japan and other countries to resolve the crisis over North Korea's nuclear program.

 Friends of Liberty - South Korean Foreign Minister: "No 'Proof' of NK Uranium Reprocessing"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
Yoon's statement is the latest in a series of conflicting reports about North Korea's nuclear reprocessing, a crucial step toward churning out atomic bombs.
Minister Yoon declined to comment on the contacts between the United States and North Korea in July, saying he "was informed of this but it is difficult to explain its contents."
In the CBS interview, Yoon rejected criticism that the government was deliberately taciturn about North Korea's nuclear activities even though it was aware of them.

Yoon said "verifiable and irreversible" elimination of North Korea's nuclear weapons programs was a requirement in exchange for substantive measures by Washington and Seoul.
But Yoon said North Korea must take the first step to resolve the dispute, saying Pyongyang had sparked the crisis by violating its international nuclear obligations and nonproliferation rules.
Yoon also stressed stronger security ties between the United States and South Korea to resolve the dispute.

 Seoul on Ice - Why is Washington stiffing South Korea? By Soyoung Ho
The departure of Yoon Young Kwan—the former South Korean foreign minister who was credited by some with stabilizing relations with the United States after President Roh won the election, partly based on anti-American rhetoric, in December 2002—spells trouble for Washington.
Yoon's departure is attributable partly to his endorsement of the deployment of peacekeeping troops to Iraq at Washington's request last October, in the face of broad objections by President Roh, the Korean National Security Council, and the public in general.
Yoon was able to send troops to Iraq in the end, but his successful maneuvering led some in the Blue House—the South Korean president's official residence—to wonder aloud whether Yoon was Korea's foreign minister or an agent of the U.S. secretary of state.

 S. Korea's FM quits after tiff over US -DAWN - International; 16 January, 2004
Mr Roh's mostly young and nationalistic NSC advisers in turn criticized the diplomats as being too pro-American.
The trigger for the dispute that cost Yoon his job was contentious negotiations with Washington on relocating US military bases, including a huge one in the heart of Seoul.
Roh's narrow election victory was helped by a surge of anti-American sentiment that drew tens of thousands of young South Koreans to US flag-burning protests triggered by the deaths of two girls run over by a US Army vehicle.

 Nautilus Institute Policy Forum Online: Don't Misunderstand Firing of South Korean Foreign Minister
In this brief essay, Brent Choi, North Korea specialist for the Joongang Daily, argues that the recent dismissal of South Korean Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Yoon Young-kwan has been grossly misinterpreted by the U.S. media as an outgrowth of the struggle between pro-U.S. and anti-U.S. factions within the Roh administration.
Instead, Yoon's dismissal must be interpreted through the socio-cultural prism of South Korea's bureaucratic society.
The president expected Yoon to reprimand the official in question but he did no such thing thus, leading the Blue House to take the matter into its own hand and discharge Yoon instead.
