In a meeting convened to examine China’s proposal to reopen the Six-Party Talks, chief delegates from South Korea, the United States and Japan agreed that there is not yet any sign North Korea is ready to denuclearize.
On the 6th, Cho Tae Yong, Glyn Davies and Junichi Ihara, top representatives from South Korea, the United States and Japan respectively, gathered at the U.S. State Department for a trilateral conference. In a press briefing that followed, the three delegates revealed their mutual stance.
The three representatives reasserted that North Korea has first to demonstrate a genuine commitment to denuclearize. In addition, they reaffirmed that “the unanimous stance of South Korea, the United States and Japan remains that the Six-Party Talks be driven by the North Korea’s eventual and complete denuclearization; this is the core determinant for resuming the talks.”
Right now, the onus for reopening the Six-Party Talks lies with Chinese delegate Wu Dawei, whose recent visit to North Korea is presumed to be centered on inducing progress in Pyongyang. However, analysts assert that it will be difficult for Wu to convince the North to adhere to the three-party demand for denuclearization.
South Korean chief delegate Cho is scheduled to meet with Wu in China in mid-November. Around the same time, U.S. representative Davies also has plans to visit China. Both are set to receive a readout on Wu’s trip to Pyongyang.
