I am interested in whether the North Korea denuclearization negotiations, which had been stalled for a long time, can move forward again after US President Biden takes office three days later. The new government’s diplomatic and security lines were full of experts on the Korean peninsula, and while they understand North Korea’s nuclear issue well, it’s hard to be optimistic. This is reporter Dowon Kim. The diplomatic and security lines of the Biden administration are returning to large numbers of bureaucrats during the Obama administration. These people also have experience of the situation on the Korean peninsula and the North Korean nuclear issue. In particular, Wendy Sherman, who was nominated for undersecretary of state, met with Kim Jong-il as North Korea’s policy coordinator during the Clinton administration and was deeply involved in Iran’s nuclear negotiations during the Obama administration. At the same time, Secretary of State’s candidate Tony Blincoln also presented the Iranian nuclear deal as a model for the North Korean nuclear solution. Rather than calling for a ‘big deal’ like the Trump administration, he is expected to attempt denuclearization in stages through negotiations. Even if North America negotiates, the process is not expected to be straightforward. Although the Iranian nuclear negotiation model is presented, it is hard to believe that North Korea will have a much higher level of nuclear development than Iran at that time, and it will readily accept comprehensive verification. It is unclear whether the United States will also accept the so-called withdrawal of so-called hostilities against North Korea, which North Korea has repeatedly demanded in defending the strong against the strong and the good against the good at the 8th Party Congress. However, as Biden emphasized strengthening the alliance, there is also the expectation that the views of our allies will be further reflected in North Korean politics. Instead, the pressure to join as an alliance on the US controls against China could also increase. It will take several months for the Biden administration’s diplomatic and security team to reorganize and establish North Korean policy. The government believes that the Biden administration is fully aware of the urgency of North Korea’s nuclear issue, and it is a policy that should be closely consulted for rapid policy establishment.
