Energized debate on N. Korea

A think tank report disclosing no new critical information about North Korea rarely creates a wave of repercussions, but that was the result of one on satellite imagery analysis of the Sakkanmol and a dozen other operating missile bases located throughout the North.

For peace and denuclearization

The defense ministers of South Korea and the United States concluded their annual security consultative meeting (SCM) in Washington, Oct. 31, with an agreement to provide military support for the diplomatic efforts to achieve “a final, fully verified denuclearization” and to establish lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Challenges to peace process

President Moon Jae-in has just returned home from a nine-day trip to Europe, aimed at enlisting support for his peace initiative in Korea. Pope Francis' blessing and encouragement for Moon's peace initiative was particularly remarkable. The pope said to President Moon, who is a Catholic, “Don't stop. Go forward without fear.”

Long haul to denuclearization

The outcome of U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un Oct. 7 can be summarized in three areas of agreement: to hold a second U.S.-North Korea summit “as soon as possible,” to form “a working group” to discuss the denuclearization process, and to continue working together toward “complete denuclearization” according to the Singapore agreement.

Jumpstart of nuclear talks

Protracted peace in Korea

It is hard to know exactly what caused the current stalemate on the issue of North Korea's denuclearization. Yet, from sporadic reports, we can reconstruct what has happened since the dramatic U.S.-DPRK summit in June, when North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reaffirmed his commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Deadlock on nuclear talks

In recent weeks, U.S.-North Korea talks appeared to have hit a snag, with no further agreement on details to carry out North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's commitment to denuclearization. This was not a surprise to many critics of Trump's policy but a puzzling set back to its proponents, including the Seoul government.

Back to reality on North Korea

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's third visit to Pyongyang July 6-7 was considered a failure with no gains, no meeting with Kim Jong-un and no progress on a much-expected plan of action for denuclearization.

A long path to denuclearization

More than two weeks after the U.S.-North Korea summit in Singapore, June 12, the two sides have yet to hold follow-up negotiations that should lay out a specific path toward the announced goal of “complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” Many are wondering what is going on now.
