신상협 교수님 대담
And to tell us more about this.... Professor Shin Sang-hyup from Kyung Hee University joins us in the studio today.
So good to see you.
It's great to be here.
1- What would a peace treaty mean for the two Koreas.... and have such efforts for a peace treaty been made in the past?
2- If the two Koreas agree on a peace treaty and formally end the Korean War... this would definitely mean something for the international community as well,... right?
3- Then what kind of roadmap do you think the South Korean government has in mind in regards to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the establishment of a peace treaty with North Korea?
4- What are the chances then for us to even see the establishment of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and North Korea?
5- So events are moving very rapidly,... given that just four months ago Washington and Pyongyang were trading threats of war.
Although not a lot has been made public... how far do you think discussions and negotiations between the two Koreas and the U.S. have gone?
6- Some are suggesting that matters involving North Korea should be dealt with and settled, especially when it comes to denuclearization and diplomacy with North Korea, while President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Donald Trump are in office.
I mean, can Moon and Trump succeed where so many others have failed up until now?
7- But in the past... North Korea's preconditions for denuclearization included the withdrawal of American troops stationed in South Korea,... which is a demand that Washington and Seoul have both rejected.
8- What's the possibility then of a multinational peace agreement that would involve not only the two Koreas but also the U.S. and China?
9- Amid a flurry of diplomatic efforts over North Korea,... Pyongyang has been involving itself greatly with China... with Kim Jong-un first meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping,... then meeting with Chinese top diplomats.
What can we make of this?
Thank you for your insight today.
Thank you.
