Unification Ministry holds a seminar discussing the North Korean nuclear issue after the U.S. presidential election (November 26)

On November 26, the Ministry of Unification and a research group comprised of National Assembly members called “North Korea and Unification” held a seminar discussing the “North Korean nuclear issue after the U.S. presidential election.”

At the seminar, discussions focused on evaluating the key issues surrounding U.S.-North Korea relations and the North Korean nuclear issue, taking into account the international situation affecting the Korean Peninsula’s unification and security environment, such as the launch of the Trump administration’s second term and the Russia-Ukraine war, as well as the South Korean government’s response strategies.

In his opening remarks, Unification Minister Kim Yung Ho stressed that the final aim of resolving the North Korean nuclear issue is achieving “the complete denuclearization of North Korea.” He also conveyed the shared U.S.-South Korea message of seeking “unconditional dialogue with North Korea, including on the denuclearization issue.”

Furthermore, the minister mentioned that North Korea must quickly realize that its future cannot be secured through nuclear weapons and missiles, and called on Pyeongyang to come to the table for dialogue, as proposed in the South Korean government’s “Audacious Initiative” and the “August 15 Unification Doctrine.”

The first session, titled “Prospects for U.S.-North Korea Relations and the North Korean Nuclear Issue After the U.S. Presidential Election,” included in-depth discussions on the ① second Trump administration’s policies toward the Korean Peninsula and its approach to the North Korean nuclear issue, future developments in North Korea’s stance on nuclear ② issues, and the outlook for negotiations on the North Korean nuclear issue between the ③ U.S. and North Korea.

The second session, titled “Approaches and Strategies for Addressing the North Korean Nuclear Issue,” covered challenges and opportunities arising from changes in the ① international landscape and comprehensive approaches and measures by the South Korean ② government to address the North Korean nuclear issue.
