Lee Do-hoon, head of the Korean Peninsula Peace Negotiations Headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, assessed that better foundations have been laid for the declaration of the end of the Korean Peninsula during his visit to the United States on the day 30 (local time).

Lee, who visited the United States to discuss the Korean Peninsula issue on the 27th, met with correspondents on his return trip to Dulles International Airport near Washington DC and made this announcement.

On the significance of his visit to the United States, he said: “I was able to meet with all the members of the American administration who are involved in the issue of the Korean Peninsula. I think we were able to have a very meaningful and practical conversation.”

On the 28th, when Undersecretary of State Stephen Vegan and the Special Representative for North Korea assessed the meeting with Lee as “a wonderful meeting,” he said: “How to resume the dialogue (with North Korea) in the future, and when dialogue is resumed, the Korean peninsula. “I spoke deeply and widely about these important issues, how to move forward with denuclearization and the settlement of a peace regime,” he explained. “I think it makes sense in that sense.”

Vice Minister Vegan mentioned at the time that “constructive measures were also discussed to continue promoting diplomacy on the Korean peninsula.” As for whether this ‘constructive plan’ includes the declaration of the end of the war, “the declaration of the end of the war is also important, but it can be understood as a process of making a big picture as a whole,” Lee said.

He answered, “Yes” to the question: “Do you mean that the declaration of the end of the war falls into a large category when discussing denuclearization?” When asked, ‘I was hoping that we could come to a consensus, but how much do we talk about that?’, He said: “Because we continue to speak in a very broad and meaningful way, I think a better foundation has been created in the future. “.

On top of this, he spared his comments, saying, “We talked about a wide range of things” about the ROK-US cooperation plan for the assassination of North Korean public officials on the south side.
