Original title: Korean media: Biden said the United States seeks to achieve the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula through diplomatic means
According to Yonhap's Washington report on September 21, US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that the United States will seek to achieve a comprehensive denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula through diplomatic means.
The US president said not long ago that the United States would resume full compliance with the nuclear agreement reached with Iran if the Middle East country chose to do so.
In his first live speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Biden said: "similarly, we seek to use serious and sustained diplomatic means to achieve the full denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."
He also said: "we seek to make progress and formulate a feasible plan with practical commitments to strengthen stability on the Korean Peninsula and the region and improve the lives of the people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea." he used the official name of the DPRK in his speech.
The report believes that these remarks were made at a time when the United States made goodwill to the DPRK.
U.S. special representative for North Korea Kim Sung has repeatedly proposed that he is willing to meet with the North Korean side "anytime, anywhere and unconditionally", but the North Korean side has turned a deaf ear to the U.S. proposal.
"We have repeatedly said that we are ready to meet with the DPRK unconditionally. We hope they will respond positively to this, but unfortunately, they have not done so so so far," Erica Bacchus lagers, a senior official in charge of international organizations at the U.S. State Department, said on Monday
The report points out that since the beginning of 2019, North Korea has not launched denuclearization negotiations with the United States. (compiled by / Hu Guanghe)
