Kim Hyun-jong, deputy chief of the National Security Office of the Blue House, said today (22) that after the meeting with the US Deputy Special Representative, North Korea, the US State Department, who oversees negotiations with North Korea, said, "I was impressed that talks between North America would soon unfold."

Kim met with reporters after 11 am at the Seoul government office after an hour and 10-minute meeting with a vegan representative.

"We are working closely with the US on the dialogue process and the denuclearization negotiation process," he said. "Maybe everything will be shared and maybe work well with us."

However, even though North Korea's Foreign Ministry said in a spokesman speech earlier this morning that it was "not interested in dialogue with military threats," the reason for the optimism of the resumption of North American dialogue is "I cannot reveal the exact details, but I think it will happen soon." I loved it.

Also, the question is whether it is possible to understand that there was a specific sign of resumption of dialogue on the north side.

"So far, North Korea has continued to be critical of us, but the US has appreciated the restraint we have to achieve constructive goals."

Regarding whether to extend the Korea-Japan Military Information Protection Agreement (GSOMIA / Jisomia), he said, "We will carefully review and judge it in accordance with our national interests."
