[정치]President Moon interviews the U.S. state affairs and defense…the first meeting of Biden’s cabinet

[앵커]

This morning, US Secretary of State Blincoln and US Secretary of Defense Austin visited the Blue House in the afternoon to prevent President Moon Jae-in after completing the “2+2 talks”.

This is the first time President Moon has met a high-ranking US official since the inauguration of the Biden administration.

I am interested in what kind of stories may have been.

Let’s connect the reporters of the Blue House. Reporter Hong Seon-ki!

Is the meeting between President Moon and the two US ministers Blincoln and Austin over now?

[기자]

Yes, President Moon Jae-in’s interview with the U.S. Secretary of State and Defense Secretary began around 3pm, lasted about 50 minutes, and ended around 3:50.

President Moon met with US Secretary of State Blincoln and US Secretary of Defense Austin, who visited the Blue House.

The exact content of the conversation has not yet been delivered.

This is the first time President Moon Jae-in has faced a high-ranking minister at the Biden’s level since the inauguration of the US administration.

In today’s interview, the biggest concern is, above all, whether the progressed talks related to the ROK-US summit have come and gone.

President Moon announced his will to help the new US administration understand the issue of the Korean Peninsula by holding a summit meeting as soon as possible prior to the inauguration of the Biden administration earlier this year.

Also, in the first telephone conversation between the two leaders in the last month, they agreed to the necessity of face-to-face talks and decided to promote the summit.

As we looked at the Corona 19 situation, there was a clue to push ahead.

In addition to the talks of the summit, what kind of dialogue took place in today’s meeting seems to be an important scale for reading not only the ROK-US relations, but also the biden’s administration’s policy toward North Korea.

The main contents of today’s interview will be briefed by a spokesperson at the Blue House in a short while.

Before and after President Moon’s prevention, US Secretary of Defense Austin and US Secretary of State Blincoln held separate interviews with National Security Officer Seo Hoon and shared opinions on security issues.

So far, this is Seon-ki Hong of YTN at the Blue House.
