Seo-hoon, the head of the Blue House National Security Office, who came to the United States on the 13th, visited the US State Department on the afternoon of the 16th and met Secretary of State Pompeo.

After meeting with the counter part, White House National Security Adviser, O'Brien yesterday, we set out in a series of contacts with the US administration.

Suh made his first visit to the United States in July after he moved from the chief of the National Intelligence Service to the head of the National Security Office.

[Seo Hoon / Head of National Security Office of Blue House: We shared an assessment of the situation on the Korean Peninsula and conducted in-depth analysis and discussion on the issue of how to stably manage the situation on the Korean Peninsula.] In

particular, President Moon Jae-in followed his speech to the United Nations last month

.

As the Korea Society speeches in Japan repeatedly proposed the declaration of an end to the war on the Korean Peninsula, there is a possibility that related discussions took place.

It seems likely that the recent discussion of the ROK-US defense cost share negotiations and the transition of wartime operational control, which have not found any other point of contact at the Korea-US Security Council, were also discussed on the main agenda.

Earlier, the Blue House explained that the purpose of Mr. Seo's visit to the US was to discuss issues related to North Korea and coordinate major issues between the ROK-US alliance.

However, considering that the US presidential election is less than 20 days left and it is difficult to expect substantial changes in US policies related to the Korean peninsula, some analyzes have suggested that the visit was considering the case of President Trump's re-election.
