SEOUL: South Korea's defence minister, Yoon Kwang-ung, has offered to resign, local news cable TV YTN reported on Tuesday.

A defence ministry spokesman said the ministry was checking on the report.

South Korean news agency Yonhap News said President Roh Moo-hyun was likely to name Yoon's successor next week.

The resignation offer, if confirmed, comes two weeks after North Korea conducted a nuclear weapons test.

Yoon offered his resignation late Monday when he met President Roh Moo-Hyun to report on the outcome of annual US-South Korean defense ministers' talks in Washington, Yonhap said, quoting an unnamed source at Roh's office.

"I think I have wrapped up what I am supposed to do," Yoon was quoted as telling Roh.

Yonhap said Roh was considering conducting a partial cabinet reshuffle next week that would affect foreign minister Ban Ki-Moon, who becomes United Nations secretary general on January 1.
