SEOUL, Oct. 20 (Yonhap) -- The government will respect the outcome of a public debate on the fate of two new nuclear reactors that recommended the resumption of their construction, the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said Friday, withdrawing the president's election pledge to scrap the two nuclear power plants.
"(Cheong Wa Dae) respects the will of the public debate commission that made its recommendation after three months of deliberation," Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Park Soo-hyun told a press briefing.
"The government will do its utmost to implement follow-up measures without any disruption, based on the recommendation."
