- 5 years ago
대담: 문대통령 아세안 순방, 외교 안보 성과는?
For more, we have Professor Kim Hyun-wook from the Korea National Diplomatic Academy,... joining me in the studio today.
Welcome to the program.
Q1-1 The president's trip came after the second summit between North Korea and the U.S. came to a close with no deal reached. Could we say that the visit this time had more importance not only on the economic front,... but also on the diplomatic and security front?
Q1-2 What sort of backing or cooperation can the Southeast Asian nations give in order keep the denuclearization talks alive?
Q2 The first leg of President Moon's trip was Brunei. There he also called for Brunei's continued support to establish permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula. Moon has also stressed the importance of ASEAN countries in ridding North Korea of its nuclear ambitions. (All 10 members of ASEAN have diplomatic relations with Pyongyang) What significance does this have?
Q3 His second stop was Malaysia. The country had maintained friendly ties with North Korea prior to the assassination of the North Korean leader's half-brother Kim Jong-nam at Kuala Lumpur airport in February 2017.
An Indonesian suspect has been released,... but the Malaysian government refused the request to release a Vietnamese suspect.. Do you think anything like this would have been brought up?
Q3-2 How do you see diplomatic relations between Malaysia and North Korea? And what will the release of a suspect mean for North Korea's actions in the future?
Q4 Now asides from the diplomatic issues,... we can't leave out economic agendas. South Korea will push for a free trade deal with Malaysia,... while Seoul has agreed step up economic cooperation with the ASEAN countries.
What will this mean for the South Korean economy?
Q5 While in Malaysia,... President Moon stressed that if there's denuclearization on the Korean peninsula,... new opportunities will open up and will aid economic cooperation between Seoul and ASEAN member nations. It comes at a time when the U.S. has been very firm on its stance of no lifting of sanctions, and pushing ahead with inter-Korean economic cooperation. Now Seoul is calling for international efforts. How do you see Moon's approach?
Q6 South Korea and the U.S. had a working-group session in Washington on Thursday,... their first face-to-face since the Hanoi summit ended prematurely. Do you think it was a chance for Seoul to get an idea of how Washington plans to proceed on the denuclearization agenda with North Korea?
