President Moon Jae-in made this statement on the 9th, referring to the election of the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of the United States, Joe Biden. In the first message of encouragement from the elected Biden, the principle of continuing the peace process on the Korean peninsula was clarified.
Still, President Moon did not comment directly on the declaration of the end of the war, which he has been emphasizing since his speech at the UN General Assembly in September. This is a more cautious attitude than before, considering the reality ‘that the concept of the End of War Proclamation may conflict with the government’s policy stance towards North Korea, whether it requires denuclearization action. real North Korea ‘.
○ Instead of declaring the end of the war, the text emphasized the ‘peace process’ three times.
President Moon told a meeting of the chief and advisers of the Blue House on the same day: “As an irreplaceable friend and strong ally, our government will absolutely respect and support the decisions of the American people.” I will communicate in many ways. “President Moon, who sent a congratulatory message on Twitter the day before, officially called Biden-elect as ‘President-elect.’ President Moon said:” We will not create any gap in strengthening the alliance. between the ROK and the United States and progress in the peace process on the Korean peninsula, “but did not mention the declaration of the end of the war that had been emphasized several times or the relationship of trust with North Korean leader Kim Jong -a. Instead, he emphasized the peace process on the Korean Peninsula three times, saying: “Our government is firmly determined to advance the peace process on the Korean Peninsula without trembling.

Meanwhile, President Moon announced, “The government of the United States Democratic Party has the experience of cooperating and cooperating closely with the Korean Democratic Party in the peace process.” There it is. “This seems to have taken into account the observation that the government’s” End of War Declaration “initiative may conflict with the Biden government’s policy toward North Korea. During elections, the president Elect Biden said, “I will meet with Kim Jong-un only if I agree to reduce the amount of nuclear arsenals,” and demanded significant denuclearization measures by North Korea as a prerequisite for the North Korea-US summit. far from President Moon’s idea of resuming the denuclearization dialogue with the declaration of the end of the war. In this regard, a key official from the diplomatic and security line said: “If the Biden administration is launched, the negotiations above going down will be difficult. “” We will focus on managing the situation so that dialogue between North Korea and the United States is resumed and there is no risk of war on the Core Peninsula to.

However, the Blue House plans to continue the existing concept of pursuing the end of the war through summit meetings between the two Koreas or the two Koreas. The administration hopes the newly launched Biden administration will completely wipe out the Trump administration’s legacy of the North Korea-US dialogue and not go back to the Obama days. In fact, Minister Kang Kyung-wha said: “Listening to the public address of the Biden people, it does not seem that we return to the strategic patience of that time (Obama). “Based on the progress and accomplishments of the last three years (the Trump administration). We have to do it. ”
