Following the visit of US Secretary of State Pompeo, Wang Yi, the visit of the Chinese Foreign Minister to Korea has also been postponed. There is a view that the burden of having to confront each other’s foreign ministers in the middle of the conflict between the United States and China has been eased, but the diplomatic timetable for managing the situation on the Korean peninsula is seen disrupted. This is Kim Moon-kyung. Wang Yi’s visit to Korea, which had been promoted around the next week, was postponed. According to diplomatic sources, both Korea and China are known to delay Wang’s visit to Korea due to Chinese circumstances. Wang’s visit to Korea, which was expected to come immediately after Secretary of State Pompeo’s visit to Korea, drew attention due to the conflict between the United States and China, but both failed. There is also an opinion that the postponement of Pompeo’s visit to Korea may have affected Wang, but a source said that the postponement of Wang’s schedule will come first. It is known that plans to visit Japan for the prevention of the new Japanese Prime Minister Suga have also been postponed. Some analysts say the postponement of the US-Chinese Foreign Minister’s visit to Korea has helped the Korean government avoid pressure from the US and China to “align.” However, since the confrontation between the United States and China itself has not changed, the same situation can be reproduced at any time. The United States does not directly require South Korea to participate in the ‘Quad’, a Chinese checklist, but emphasizes that the ROK-US alliance is a key pillar of security in the Indo-Pacific region. Along with this, successive cancellations of visits to Korea are expected to disrupt our diplomacy to manage the situation on the Korean peninsula. Before and after the speech at the UN General Assembly last month when President Moon Jae-in proposed the declaration of the end of the war, the government maintained high-level contacts with the United States, China and the United States, seeking engines for resume the peace process on the Korean peninsula. However, it is not easy to find a breakthrough as the schedule for face-to-face diplomacy has been pushed back due to consecutive unexpected variables such as the coup by a public official on Yeonpyeong Island and the confirmation of the coronavirus by President Trump. This is YTN Kim Moon-kyung.
