US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln has repeatedly announced a policy to cooperate with allies to denuclearize North Korea.
According to foreign media on the 16th, Minister Blincoln, who is visiting Japan, met Japan’s Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu, a counterpart, at a diplomatic talk held in Tokyo that day. “The US will continue to cooperate with its allies to denuclearize North Korea.” He also indicated that “the values of democracy are under threat in countries such as Myanmar and China,” and that allies should cooperate closely not only in the denuclearization of North Korea but also in China.
Minister Blincoln’s remarks came shortly after the first vice president of the Labor Party Kim Yeo-jeong, the younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and second-person, issued a warning message to the administration of Joe Biden. In a discourse in the Labor Newspaper of the Party’s newspaper that day, Vice Minister Kim warned, “It would be better not to make a slumbering job from the beginning.” The day of criticism was set by revealing the first official position towards the Biden administration, which had been silent.
On that day, the White House officially confirmed that the Biden administration tried to contact North Korea in time with Secretary of State Blincoln’s tour of Korea and Japan, but did not get an answer. White House spokesman Jen Saki said, “We will continue to contact Japanese and Korean allies to seek advice and explore new approaches, and have listened carefully to their views, including trilateral consultations.” I think you can all expect that your involvement will continue to expand. Of course, it will be the subject of discussion.”
