President Moon Jae-in said in a keynote address at the 75th UN General Assembly in New York, USA on the 22nd (local time): “If the international community continues to support and cooperate, surely the denuclearization and permanent peace on the Korean peninsula. ” He said it as the ‘Declaration of the end of the Korean peninsula’, which can confirm everyone’s will for peace.

◇ Two years ago, the declaration of the end of the war called “ corresponding denuclearization measures ”

President Moon said in a pre-recorded video speech released locally the same day, saying, “Peace on the Korean Peninsula is still incomplete and hope-filled change is stopping.” Following the bombing of the Gaeseong Inter-Korean Liaison Office in June, North Korea reiterated the ‘end of the war’, referring to the situation where it rejected any dialogue between the two Koreas. President Moon said, “Now, on the Korean peninsula, the war must end completely and permanently.”

This is the first time since the New Years press conference in January last year, just before the ‘No Hanoi Deal’ between the United States and North Korea, President Moon mentioned the ‘End of the war’ in a seat official. At the time, President Moon said: “The end of the declaration of war ultimately corresponds to the United States’ measures corresponding to the denuclearization measures of North Korea agreed at the Singapore Summit.” “If the political declaration to resolve hostile relations with each other in accordance with the end of the war continues, North Korea will also denuclearize further. It was suggested in advance that it would be possible to do this quickly.

In his opening speech at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2018, President Moon said, “I hope that in the future bold measures for denuclearization will be implemented among the affected countries and lead to the declaration of the end of the war. “. However, in a speech this day after about two years, he presented a “Declaration of the end of the war” that said: “The Declaration of the end of the war will be the door to denuclearization and a permanent peace regime in the peninsula. from Korea”.

In this speech, President Moon requested international support for the “End of War Declaration.” However, he is analyzed to come close to the message of a ‘North Korea proposal’ to bring North Korea into dialogue as soon as possible with a deadline of about one year and seven months to go. In the current situation in which the dialogues between North Korea and the United States and North Korea have ceased, instead of urging North Korea to denuclearize, President Moon is trying to seek a reversal by raising the “ Declaration of War ” in the political sense. However, there are criticisms of the ‘End of War Declaration’, where progress related to the denuclearization of North Korea has been overlooked, saying it is just a political event.

◇ Proposal for the ‘Northeast Asia Quarantine Cooperation Organization’ to participate in North Korea, China, Japan and Mongolia

In his speech for the day, President Moon said: “We propose a ‘North East Asia quarantine and health cooperation body’ in which China, Japan, Mongolia and Korea, including North Korea, participate together.” He has repeatedly proposed inter-Korean cooperation and Northeast Asian cooperation, with quarantine and health cooperation as the link.

President Moon said, “South and North Korea are ‘communities of life,'” he said. “Health and quarantine cooperation will be the beginning of dialogue and cooperation even in the process of achieving peace on the Korean peninsula.” It is also linked to “human security,” which President Moon explained as a concept that separates it from traditional “military security” and addresses all factors that threaten security, such as disasters, diseases and environmental problems. President Moon emphasized “comprehensive security” and said: “Now, cross-border cooperation is necessary to protect the peace of a country and the life of a person, and a multilateral security system must be established.”

President Moon said, “I have been talking about a ‘peace economy’ that is useful to both South and North Korea and that coexists well, and has emphasized inter-Korean cooperation in the field of disasters and medical care. “. “The problem on the Korean peninsula after Corona is also international. I hope to think in terms of ‘cooperation.'” He said: “A partnership in which various countries protect lives and guarantee security will be the basis for North Korea to guarantee security through multilateral cooperation with the international community. “

President Moon said on the day that in relation to the crown, “not only international cooperation for the development of vaccines and treatments should be guaranteed, but also the equitable access rights of each country after development.” He also stressed “international solidarity” in responding to climate change, saying that “Korea will actively participate in the climate response as a bridge between developed and developing countries and faithfully pass on Korea’s experience to developing countries.” President Moon, who delivered a keynote address for the 10th time among UN member states, mentioned “cooperation” 26 times and “peace” 17 times. The word ‘Korean Peninsula’ was also mentioned 12 times.
