“The Declaration of the End of the War, the problem that was always on the negotiating table”
Interview with Secretary of State Pompeo … “Confirmation of a strong alliance between the ROK and the US.”
Lee Soo-hyuk’s comments on ‘American Choice’ “there was no misunderstanding”

On the 15th (local time), Seo-hoon, head of the Blue House National Security Office, said: “It is common sense that the Declaration of War cannot be reproduced separately (in the course of the denuclearization of North Korea)”. Previously, President Moon Jae-in made two appeals to the international community to declare an end to the war through the United Nations General Assembly.

During a visit to the United States, Mr. Seo met with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the United States Department of State building in Washington DC this afternoon, met with correspondents, and asked, ‘How much consensus exists between states States and the declaration of war? “He said. He said,” It has always been a problem at the negotiating table and there can be no different opinions between the United States and Korea. “

Seo said: “The problem is just how the declaration of the end of the war will be in the denuclearization process or the degree of association with denuclearization,” he said. “It is better not to interpret too differently or excessively.” It is interpreted that the declaration of the end of the war is not irrelevant to the denuclearization of North Korea, but that it is treated in close relationship, and that there is no disagreement between the ROK and the United States. However, Seo explained that during his visit to the United States, “I did not speak in depth about the end of the war.”

Mr. Seo, who visited the United States on the 13th, met with Secretary Pompeo that day, and the day before he met with his counterpart Robert O’Brien, a national security adviser at the White House. Seo will return home on the 16th.

When asked if the US presidential elections (November 3) were left behind, and asked if he visited the United States to create momentum for inter-Korean dialogue or the declaration of an end to the war, “the Relations between Korea and the US. They are a matter that must continue regardless of the presidential elections and whether or not they are in power. Isn’t that right? “

Suh said: “Is the plan to conduct inter-Korean relations independently regardless of the alliance between the ROK and the United States?” “Inter-Korean relations cannot simply be called inter-Korean relations.” It’s a problem. I’ve been doing it so far. “

Ambassador Lee Soo-hyuk raised controversy in the parliamentary audit on December 12, saying, “Because Korea elected the United States 70 years ago, it will not elect the United States for the next 70 years.” When asked about this comment, the chief said: “I think it would be better to consult with this ambassador in person.” However, he said, “Don’t the correspondents know better what Ambassador Lee usually thinks about relations between the United States and the Republic of Korea?” And “I think there was a misunderstanding.”

Suh said of this visit to the United States, “there are results of mutual sympathy and confirmation of how deeply and well the strong alliance between the ROK and the United States is being managed.” He also explained: “Some time ago there was enthusiasm in North Korea. We shared our assessment of the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and we had an in-depth analysis and discussion on how to handle the situation on the Korean Peninsula in a stable manner.”
