The special presidential delegation that visited Pyongyang and Washington recently will head to Beijing, Moscow and Tokyo starting March 12 to ask for those governments` cooperation on peace talks.
They will explain to the leaders and top ranking officials in neighboring countries the results of the Pyongyang and Washington visits, and ask for their cooperation on the establishment of a peace structure for the Korean Peninsula.
Chief Chung Eui-yong of the National Security Office will visit Beijing on March 12 and 13 to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi. They will discuss the outcome of the delegation’s Pyongyang and Washington visits.
Chung will then head to Moscow to meet top-ranking Russian officials and to explain the results of his Pyongyang and Washington visits. He is also set to listen to Russia’s view on denuclearization negotiations on the Korean Peninsula.
In the meantime, National Intelligence Service chief Suh Hoon and Second Deputy Chief of the Presidential National Security Office Nam Gwan-pyo will visit Tokyo on March 12 and 13 to meet Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Currently, Korea’s neighbors are showing signs of welcome concerning the potential Pyongyang-Washington talks.
According to China’s Xinhua News Agency and to the People’s Daily, President Xi Jinping said after holding a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump on March 9 that he would like to praise Trump’s strong yearning to seek a political resolution to issues on the Korean Peninsula. President Xi also hoped that the talks between North Korea and the U.S. would achieve a positive outcome.
Japan also welcomed the news, but expressed concern that Tokyo may not be involved in the process of denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula.
The Kyodo News Agency said on March 11 that, “The Japanese government would pay JPY 300,000 if North Korea would receive a nuclear inspection.” The Yomiuri Shimbun reported on March 9 that, “The Japanese government welcomes the prospect of the Pyongyang-Washington talks, while remaining concerned whether or not Tokyo’s involvement would be included in the progress of the negotiations on Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile development program.”
Meanwhile, National Security Office Chief Chung expressed positive prospects for the upcoming potential Seoul-Pyongyang and Pyongyang-Washington talks.
Right after his arrival at Incheon International Airport from Washington on March 11, Chung told reporters that, “Thanks to the Korean people’s support, the South-North Korean summit was agreed upon, and I believe the summit between the U.S. and North Korean leaders would come true.”
“I would like to highly praise President Moon Jae-in and President Trump’s strong will and determination to achieve the goal of denuclearizing on the Korean Peninsula and to establish a peace structure on the Korean Peninsula,” he added.
