“Based on diplomatic experience and policy knowledge, understanding and knowledge, we will strengthen the alliance between the ROK and the US and resolve relations with major countries such as China, Japan, Russia and the EU. smoothly after the launch of the US Biden administration. ” “We look forward to raising our diplomatic horizons and our status to the next level by firmly establishing and developing the peace process on the Korean Peninsula and the New South and New North policies, which we place great emphasis on.”
After the collapse of the Hanoi talks, he returned to the forefront of diplomacy, who was again in the Moon Jae-in regime, approaching the end of his tenure as “ the best dedicated expert in the field of diplomacy and security, ” as Jeong said. There are many opinions that President Moon’s order is to achieve the ‘spring of the future’.
It is true that the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs feels heavier than before, since they arrived as ministers who were experts in negotiations with North Korea and the United States.

However, he also said, “This (review) begins with close consultation with our allies and partners, especially Korea and Japan and the rest, and reviewing all applications.” It seems important to explain and persuade.
He also said that the issue of humanitarian aid to North Korea is “in North Korea and in a similar situation, we believe that we must be very careful with the people of the country in question and do what we can to alleviate their suffering.” He showed.
