South Korean intelligence officials said the United States had told North Korea that it intends to provide a vaccine for the new coronavirus.

It seems that there is a desire to resume dialogue with North Korea through humanitarian assistance, but it is unclear whether North Korea, which is increasing pressure on the United States, will accept it.

This was revealed by South Korean director Park Ji-won (Park Jie-won) on the 21st at the National Assembly's Information Committee.



According to the members who attended the committee, the U.S. government told the North Korean side that it could provide 60 million doses of vaccine in cooperation with the United Nations, and the North Korean side replied, "Report above." about it.



"The North doesn't trust vaccines from Russia and China. It seems that they only want American vaccines," said Park.



In this regard, South Korean news agency Union News said the US proposal was passed on to North Korea's UN Ambassador Kim Sung last month, who expressed interest and asked, "Is the vaccine Pfizer or Moderna?" I reported.



It seems that the United States wants to resume dialogue through humanitarian assistance while relations with North Korea are not developing.



However, in addition to North Korea launching missiles one after another, we will consider reviewing the ICBM = intercontinental ballistic missile launch test announced in April 2018 and the cancellation of the nuclear test. It is unclear whether North Korea will accept the provision of the vaccine, as it is increasing pressure on the United States, suggesting that.
