South Korea and the United States are in agreement on their approach to North Korea, with Foreign Minister Cho Hyun stating that both nations remain committed to the goal of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula. The alignment of policy between the two countries was confirmed through numerous summit meetings, according to Cho, who made these remarks during a parliamentary audit of the foreign ministry.
Cho emphasized the ongoing close consultations between South Korea and the U.S., aimed at encouraging North Korea to return to dialogue and negotiations. He vowed to continue efforts to foster constructive roles from China and Russia in this regard. Cho stressed the government's commitment to achieving substantive progress on the North Korean nuclear issue through a phased and practical approach.
This approach would focus on halting, reducing, and ultimately dismantling North Korea's nuclear capabilities. Cho also addressed concerns that Washington might shift its policy focus towards goals shorter than denuclearization, such as arms control or tension reduction. He assured that such a shift was not under consideration.
