– Foreign Minister Eui-yong Eui-yong said on the 5th that he had heard from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un that he could give up nuclear weapons if the security situation on the Korean Peninsula was fully guaranteed.
Candidate Jung said at a hearing on the National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs and Transportation Affairs Committee on that day, when asked by Rep. Cho Tae-yong of the People’s Power on December 21, 2018, is it still true on December 21, 2018 that’the denuclearization process on the Korean peninsula has now entered an irreversible stage’. It is a clear fact.”
In response to the question, “It is not true that the denuclearization process on the Korean Peninsula has entered an irreversible stage,” he admitted to the failure, saying, “Yes, the breakdown in Hanoi is very regrettable.”
At the same time, to the question, “Is it true that Candidate Chung went to North Korea in March 2018, confirmed his will to denuclearize from Chairman Kim, and started denuclearization negotiations between the US and North Korea?”
Candidate Jung also affirmed the question, “Is Chairman Kim saying,’I have the will to denuclearize’?” and added, “If the security situation on the Korean Peninsula is completely guaranteed, he will give up nuclear weapons.” In addition, it was said that the contents were clearly declared at the time of the September 19 inter-Korean summit.
Meanwhile, regarding the breakdown of the North Korean-US summit in Hanoi, he said, “The breakdown is (responsibility) for both sides of the North and the US.” “North Korea was not quite sure of the situation and bargaining power was inexperienced. “All or nothing” of neo-cons (super hard hawks) represented by the security advisor) was a problem with such rigid attitude and vision.”
