Chairman of Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee Issues Statement

Date: 15/11/2019 | Source: Naenara (En) | Read original version at source

Kim Yong Chol, chairman of the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee, made public the following statement on November 14:

I took note of the remark made by the US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on November 13 that he would adjust the US-south Korea joint military drill for the progress of the DPRK-US negotiations.

As his remark was made just after the announcement of the statement of the spokesperson for the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK, I would like to understand it as the intention of the US to drop out of the joint military drill or completely stop it.

I don't think he made the decision after consulting with the south Korean authorities in advance.

Because no one in the south Korean political circles can dare to make such a wise decision.

I would like to believe that the remark of the US Secretary of Defense reflected the intention of President Trump, and appreciate it as part of positive efforts of the US side to preserve the motive force of the DPRK-US negotiations.

However, if this ends up with our naive interpretation and the hostile provocation is committed eventually to incite us, we will be compelled to answer it with shocking punishment that would be difficult for the US to cope with.
