While the relationship between Korea and Japan is turning into the worst situation due to forced labor and the judgment of comfort women, interest is rising as the US mediation role is at an important point.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that on the morning of the morning of the 19th, Noh Gyu-deok, head of the Korean Peninsula Peace Bargaining Headquarters, had held a three-party video consultation with South Korea, the United States and Japan on the North Korean nuclear and North Korean issues with Sung Kim, Assistant Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs, and Funakoshi Takehiro, Director of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The three countries, South Korea, the United States and Japan shared their assessment of the recent situation on the Korean Peninsula, and agreed to cooperate and cooperate closely with each other to achieve complete denuclearization and permanent peace settlement on the Korean Peninsula.
The three countries also evaluated the usefulness of trilateral cooperation on peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia, and decided to hold follow-up consultations at appropriate times.
On the 10th and 15th, the head of the North Korean nuclear policy, Noh Gyu-deok, has already contacted the chief executive officer of Sung Kim and Funakoshi via telephone and gave a meeting.
There seems to be a concrete discussion on denuclearization and improvement of Korea-Japan relations.
Details of the talks on the 19th are not known, but it can be found in terms of the fact that officials from the three countries of Korea, the United States and Japan have met their heads for the first time since the inauguration of the Biden administration.
An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the day, “Director Roh has already made a phone call with US and Japanese officials. It seems that a concrete discussion has progressed.
The US government has a position that the trilateral cooperation between Korea, the United States and Japan is of paramount importance in resolving the North Korean nuclear issue. However, it is an analysis that it is highly likely that the two countries were asked to make efforts to improve relations once again in a situation where the 2015 comfort women agreement, which was concluded due to US arbitration, became ineffective.
In a press release, the US State Department held the first three-party meeting, saying, “The United States is working hard to strengthen relations with Northeast Asian allies, South Korea and Japan.” “I said.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Eui-yong Eui-yong answered on the 18th at the National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs and Transportation Affairs Committee on the 18th, “As we work on trilateral cooperation, we can get help from the United States on the issue of Korea-Japan, if necessary.”
