South Korea and North Korea deputy prime minister meeting not realized The difference is relief September 6 17:03
At the Eastern Economic Forum held in the Russian Far East, South Korea and North Korea's deputy prime ministers were in line, but the talks were not realized just by exchanging short words. The difference in the position of South Korea, which repeatedly calls for resumption of dialogue between the North and South, and North Korea, which does not have a dialogue with the United States, such as conducting joint military exercises with the United States, once again emerges.
Korean Vice Prime Minister Hong Nam-gi, who was attending the Eastern Economic Forum held for three days until 6th in Vladivostok, the Russian Far East, returned home in the afternoon.
During the period, Deputy Prime Minister Hong met individually with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tortonev, but Vice Prime Minister Lee Ryongnam, who was dispatched with a higher rank than usual, was the venue for the general meeting on the 5th. The vice prime minister spoke and exchanged words for a short time, but the meeting was not realized.
The Moon Jae-in administration has repeatedly called for the resumption of the dialogue between the North and South, which has been stagnant, while no progress has been made in the US-North Korea negotiations on denuclearization.
North Korea, on the other hand, has not lost its stance not to talk with South Korea, which has conducted joint military exercises with the United States last month.
Prime Minister Lee, on the 5th, in response to NHK and other questions, expressed a strong dissatisfaction with South Korea saying “I should not implement what is clearly stated in the North-South Joint Declaration”. This is the shape.
