Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha visits the United States for four days starting on the 8th to attend the meeting of foreign ministers between Korea and the United States. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo canceled the schedule due to confirmation of the new coronavirus by President Donald Trump (Corona 19). It is a schedule for our side to adjust the schedule once. However, as a result of the presidential election, the head of administration will be replaced by Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden, so Minister Kang is likely to set out to establish a diplomatic line by meeting with Joya members of the Democratic Party.
That day, Minister Kang met with reporters before boarding a flight to the United States at Incheon International Airport and said: “If there is an opportunity in the situation on the Korean peninsula or in the current situation on the Korean peninsula, Korea, we will speak at the level of the Korean and US ministers. “
After arriving in the US at 9 local time, Minister Kang is scheduled to meet with US Secretary of State Pompeo to discuss diplomatic affairs between Korea and the United States. On the 5th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the conclusion of the meeting of diplomatic ministers and said: “By continuing the strategic communication between the two countries, we reaffirm our strong alliance between the Republic of Korea and the United States and at the same time , we hold in-depth consultations on ways to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, establish peace, and work together to strengthen the ROK-United States alliance. I will have it.”
The interest lies in whether Minister Kang will be in contact with members of the Democratic Party candidate, Biden, who won the presidential election. The Foreign Office said Minister Kang will meet with the US Congress, think tanks and key academic figures, in addition to the Trump administration, to ask for the continued support and cooperation of the American Joya. to advance the peace process on the Korean Peninsula and strengthen the alliance between the ROK and the US.
In particular, there are observations that Kang may contact them as the ‘Biden Line’, including Delaware State Senator Chris Koons, who is mentioned as the first candidate for secretary of state in the Biden administration, is in the United States Congress. Minister Kang said: “It is a delicate time to meet many people from the congress and academia throughout the year, but I plan to have many useful conversations to create an opportunity to solidify relations between the ROK and the United States.” Regarding the question of ‘does he run into Biden’s side?’, He explained, “It’s a situation that I can’t tell you specifically about the show itself, and I think you should keep looking at it.”
On this visit, the head of the Korean Peninsula Peace Negotiations Headquarters, Lee Do-hoon, will accompany the United States Under Secretary of State, Stephen Vegan, to discuss North Korea’s chief representative for nuclear negotiations. The consultation is expected to focus on managing the situation on the Korean peninsula so that North Korea does not provoke during the transition period of the US government.
