Sit down with Professor Kim
- 6 years ago
And for more insight on this week's summit and what we can expect going foward.... we have with us in the studio Professor Kim Hyun-wook from the Korea National Diplomatic Academy.
So good to have you here.
Hello Ji-yoon.
1- So this week's inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang produced agreement on some basic essentials of a real denuclearization process as well as hopes of improved inter-Korean ties in various fields.
What were some of the things that stood out to you the most this week?
2- President Moon Jae-in said after returning home from Pyeongyang, that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un expressed his wish to finish complete denuclearization at an early date... and focus on economic development
And then he added that Kim was willing to accelerate denuclearization in exchange for security guarantees from the U.S.
What can we make of this?
3- The U.S. was quick to respond to this week's summit outcome.
President Trump's reaction to it all was quite positive while U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that he invited his North Korean counterpart Ri Yong-ho to meet when they are in New York for the UN General Assembly meeting... adding that this will mark the beginning of negotiations to transform U.S.-North Korea relations.
4- So what can we expect going forward?
When would we see the second Kim-Trump summit happen and when would Kim Jong-un travel to Seoul?
How do you see the denuclearization process and talks going from here on out?
Thank you for your insight today.
