(Provided by Blue House) 2019.9.25The second anniversary of the Pyongyang Joint Declaration on September 19 was celebrated by the two Koreas, but inter-Korean relations remain in a small phase due to the “no-deal” of the Hanoi-North Korea summit in February last year.
Furthermore, North Korea’s inter-Korean relations reverted to before 2017 when North Korea took off the Kaesong Inter-Korean Cooperation Office of the Moon Jae-in administration, which was a symbol of inter-Korean cooperation, addressing the issue of the spread of the war (fira) by some conservative groups in South Korea in June. to have.
President Moon Jae-in is expected to send a message to North Korea in his keynote address to the UN General Assembly on the 23rd.
◇ Moon Jae-in Administration’s Third Inter-Korean Summit … Leaves Historic Milestone and Cools DownThe summit meeting held in Pyongyang in September 2019 was the third inter-Korean summit held by the Moon Jae-in administration. Since taking office on May 10, 2017, President Moon has endured constant provocations from North Korea, such as launching an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) multiple times and the sixth nuclear test, and has struggled to generate trust with North Korea proposing a dialogue without tremors. .
At that time, the Korean peninsula, as revealed in the new book “ Rage ” by Bob Woodward, a journalist specializing in “ Watergate ”, provoked intense provocation from North Korea between July and September 2017. immediate war crisis to the point of anguish.
To overcome the crisis of war, President Moon announced the ‘Declaration of the New Berlin’ based on the ‘Peace Process on the Korean Peninsula’ (End of War Declaration → Signing of the Peace Agreement → Enduring Peace System ) through an invited speech from the German Körber Foundation in July of that year. Following the announcement, in celebration of Liberation Day on 815, he declared the position of refraining from war, saying: ‘Only the ROK can determine military actions on the Korean peninsula, and no one can decide military actions without the consent of the Republic of Korea. ‘ In a keynote speech at the UN General Assembly in September the following month, he made it clear that he did not want to collapse in North Korea and sent his intention to invite North Korean athletes to the world at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. 2018.
Pyeongchang, where the North Korean chairman of the North Korean State Council announced his intention to participate in the PyeongChang Olympics as a New Year’s speech the following year, exploded into inter-Korean relations, which had been closed for several years, and attracted the attention of the world with the participation of a North Korean delegation led by the younger brother of the Labor Party Kim Yeo-jeong. Cheers from the Olympics immediately led to the April 27 summit.
After the inter-Korean summit on April 27, the first historic summit between the United States and North Korea was held in Singapore on June 12, 2018 in the mediation role of President Moon. On May 26 of the same year, faced with a crisis of collapse due to a nervous war between the two parties before the first summit between the United States and North Korea, President Moon mediated between the two parties through the second inter-Korean summit. privately on May 26 of the same year.
Subsequently, the third inter-Korean summit was held in Pyongyang in September. The Third Inter-Korean Summit was a continuation of the moment when the Korean peninsula marked a historic milestone. President Moon’s first address to the 150,000 citizens of Pyongyang and the visit from the peaks of the two Koreas to the Cheonji of Mt.
The inter-Korean summits held a meeting at that time, permanently abolishing the Dongchang-ri engine test site and relevant ICBM launcher agencies, and permanently abolishing the nuclear facilities at Yongbyon in accordance with the US countermeasures Δ Joint Operation of the military committee, joint discovery of the Korean War remnants Completely demilitarized within the Joint Security Area (JSA) ΔStarted construction of railways and roads in the West Sea and the East Sea, opened special economic zones in the East Sea West and special tourism zones in the East Sea Δ Standardized tourism in Kaesong Industrial Complex and Mount Geumgang Δ Established a regular visitor center for separated families and agreed to promote video meetings.
The “prosperous future” of the Korean peninsula was more concrete, as discussed at the meeting at the time, including the return of President Kim to Seoul. The optimistic future of the Korean peninsula, which was hot, has also cooled off.
On June 30 last year, for the first time in history, the leaders of the two Koreas met in Panmunjeom, raising expectations that the dialogue between the two countries would progress, but there was no backtracking. The bombing of North Korea’s joint liaison office in June brought inter-Korean relations to a colder phase, and the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) even closed the doors on each other. President Moon has proposed inter-Korean cooperation on several occasions, including health cooperation, but North Korea has yet to respond.
◇ President Moon, on the second anniversary of September 19, “The clocks of the north and south must turn back” … Attention to the opening speech of the UN General Assembly
As we celebrate the second anniversary of the Pyongyang Joint Declaration on September 19, President Moon is ready to use all his energy to restore inter-Korean relations.
President Moon recalled the exciting scenes from two years ago in an article posted on social media this morning, saying, “The emotion is vivid, but the clock has stopped. The reason the agreement was not implemented quickly was because it did not exceed internal and external restrictions, “he said.” Although it has stopped, our will for peace is firm. ”
President Moon said: “The inter-Korean agreement of September 19 must be implemented. There is nothing that passes by in history. Seeds sown once in history always bear fruit in whatever form. “We must grow seeds planted in the stadiums of Pyeongchang, Panmunjom and Pyongyang to turn them into beautiful trees. In the celebration of the second anniversary of the Pyongyang Joint Declaration of 9-19, they are full of wishes that the clocks of the two Koreas return again, ”he said.
President Moon said in a meeting with Buddhist leaders the previous day (18): “In 2018, I announced to 80 million Koreans and the world that I would move towards a peaceful Korean peninsula with President Kim in Pyongyang.” “I hope to meet and discuss. If we do not give up, we will surely follow the path of peace and reunification. “
Above all, the focus is on what kind of message President Moon will deliver towards North Korea in the opening speech of the UN General Assembly, which will be held for the first time on video due to the Corona 19 incident on Day 22. President Moon is scheduled to give his ninth keynote address on the same day, so the actual speech is expected to be around dawn on the 23rd.
President Moon, who proposed the concept of the ‘Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) International Peace Zone’ in a keynote address at the UN General Assembly last year, is known for making a strong proposal on North Korea in the this year’s opening speech. Given the mandate of President Moon, it should be noted that this is actually the last chance to restore inter-Korean relations.
In addition to his message to North Korea, President Moon is expected to ask the international community for interest and cooperation in the peace process on the Korean peninsula. The Korean Peninsula issue is expected to soon affect the world peace order and is expected to remind us that the international community is desperately interested.
The Blue House has been preparing step by step at the Pyongyang Joint Declaration in September and at the UN General Assembly as an opportunity to revive the power of inter-Korean dialogue. Earlier, he sent a message of thanks to North Korea for completely replacing the diplomatic and security line with ‘North Korea Tong’, including the head of the Blue House National Security Office Park Ji-won and the minister. of Unification Lee In-young.
On the 9th, during his first phone call after assuming office with the United States National Security Advisor, Robert O’Brien, he agreed “to consider that the coming months will be an important moment for the progress of the denuclearization and peace process in the Korean peninsula, and continue to discuss various ways to promote this. ” First Deputy Foreign Minister Choi Jong-Geon, who served as the Blue House Secretary of Peace Planning, visited the United States on the 10th (local time) and met with the United States Secretary of State, Stephen Biegan, and agreed to discuss closely between the two countries for the early resumption of the dialogue between the two Koreas.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said many efforts are being made to advance denuclearization negotiations with North Korea and that they are working with North Korea and the alliance. It can be seen as a risk management dimension in North Korea ahead of the US presidential elections in November, but the possibility of holding the third US-North Korea summit in October is also flowing.
The question is whether North Korea will respond to President Moon’s proposal. North Korea is in the worst shape due to the 19 crown crisis, which closed its borders and was flooded with typhoon damage last summer. If North Korea gives a full answer, the possibility that the miracles and cheers of 2018 will be reproduced cannot be excluded.
