South Korea and the United States are in agreement regarding their approach to North Korea, with both nations firmly committed to the objective of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, according to Foreign Minister Cho Hyun. Multiple summit meetings have confirmed this shared policy stance and their dedication to coordination, as stated by Cho during a parliamentary audit of the foreign ministry.
The two countries have consistently engaged in close consultations with the aim of persuading North Korea to resume dialogue and negotiations, Cho added, vowing to persist in efforts to garner constructive roles from China and Russia. The minister emphasized the government's resolve to achieve meaningful progress on the North Korean nuclear issue through a phased and practical approach, with the ultimate goal of halting, reducing, and ultimately dismantling North Korea's nuclear capabilities.
There have been apprehensions that Washington might pivot its policy focus towards objectives less ambitious than full denuclearization, such as arms control or tension reduction, following U.S. President Donald Trump's denial of a reporter's question about the matter in August.
