Meeting with the U.S. Ambassador to the U.S. Unification of South Korea Reexamination of the way the Working Group should be
For the first time after taking office, South Korean Minister for Unification Lee In-young should meet with US Ambassador to South Korea, and reconsider the pre-existing talks with the United States regarding cooperation with North Korea. I told you. There are also concerns that the US and South Korea will be out of step with regard to dealing with North Korea.
Korean Prime Minister Lee In-young met with American ambassador to Korea for the first time on the 18th.
At the beginning, Mr. Yi said on the working group that South Korea consults with the United States in advance regarding cooperation with North Korea, "There was an evaluation that it was efficient to consider sanctions against North Korea, There is also criticism that it is a mechanism that restricts relationships."
After that, he said, "We have to distinguish between discussions in the working group and things that Korea does on its own," and said that the working group should be reexamined.
Responding to this, Ambassador Harris said, "The method of cooperation between North and South should be found through the working group," and the idea that it should be discussed within the working group.
Unification Minister Lee, who took office on the 27th of last month, suggested that Korea should bargain with North Korea even while sanctions continue. It shows the position that we should proceed independently without conspiring.
As a result, there are concerns that the US and South Korea will be out of tune with regard to dealing with North Korea.
