[정치]“ Will the North Korean issue be pushed forward? ” President Moon Promotes Early Summit

[앵커]

Facing the next Biden administration in the United States, there are many national and international problems, including Corona.

There is also concern that peace issues on the Korean peninsula, including the North Korean nuclear issue, are being excluded from priority.

President Moon Jae-in also plans to promote the ROK-US summit as soon as possible.

Even the inauguration ceremony takes place in an atmosphere of war, and there are so many unfinished business before the elected president of the United States, Biden.

That is why there is a possibility that North Korea’s nuclear issue is not a priority because there are many things that need to be addressed in the international community, such as climate change, diplomacy, and security, as well as domestic issues like the crown. .

President Moon Jae-in, however, says the North Korean issue will not be delayed in the new US administration.

President-elect Biden is a supporter of the Sunshine Policy, so he has a deep understanding of the Korean peninsula.

He also said he was not concerned about the new US security line, and said they are well versed in Korean Peninsula issues.

At the same time, he emphasized that the North Korean nuclear issue is being communicated so as not to lag behind the United States’ diplomatic issue.

Furthermore, President Moon announced his plan to meet with the new president of the United States in person and solicit interest in North Korean issues in a short time.

So far, the summit between the United States and the Republic of Korea has typically been held around May and June, when the new American administration was inaugurated in January.

However, when President Moon announced his intention to rush to meet in person, it is noteworthy whether the schedule for the Korea-US summit can be scheduled in the near future.
