SEOUL - The US ambassador to South Korea drew criticism from the highest levels of government in Seoul on Friday for suggesting that Seoul consult with Washington about the possibility of reopening tourism with North Korea.

Harris told international media in Seoul on Thursday that it would be better for South Korea to run any plans to engage with North Korea through a joint working group established with the United States to avoid any"misunderstandings" that could trigger sanctions."It's very inappropriate for the ambassador to make such a mention in the media over remarks by the president of the host nation," the official said, speaking to media on condition of anonymity.

Others criticised Harris more directly, with some even commenting on his Japanese-American heritage. Harris was born to a Japanese mother and an American father.
