Following the recent release of his book, \u201cCypher of the Third-Floor Secretariat,\u201d and his departure from the Institute for National Security Strategy (INSS), he has committed himself to improving the outlook for those still living in the DPRK. His current efforts focus on information sharing and the power of education to effect change.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As one of the highest-ranking diplomats to ever defect, Thae has teamed up with Daily NK and its broader media consortium, Unification Media Group, for a weekly series to share his unparalleled insight into the North Korean system, ethos, and strategic thinking, while unpacking his vision for peace on the Korean Peninsula.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Transcript (filmed on August 29):<\/p>\n<p>With the sudden cancellation of US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo\u2018s fourth visit to North Korea on the 26th by President Trump, the negotiations for denuclearizing North Korea is in for another bumpy ride.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that President Trump decided to indefinitely postpone the plan of the visit a day after it had been officially announced by Secretary Pompeo is extremely unusual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far, President Trump has said that he trusts Kim Jong Un\u2018s promise that was made at the Singapore Summit to denuclearize.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the real reason that Kim Jong Un came out to the negotiation table was to avoid any military action from the United States and lift the sanctions against North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, President Trump has concluded for the first time since the Singapore Summit, that he was skeptical of Kim Jong Un\u2018s willingness to denuclearize.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This suspicion arose because Kim Jong Un refused the US\u2018 offer of exchanging a list of nuclear facilities for the end-of-war declaration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, US media has predicted that if the talks with North Korea breaks down completely, the United States may implement stronger sanctions or review military options after the November mid-term elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to overcome the current stalemate, the US and North Korea need to find a common ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The end-of-war-declaration was agreed upon by the two Koreas at the Panmunjom Summit and was also supported in June by the US in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the sole purpose of both summits was denuclearizing North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kim Jong Un needs to be aware that reporting the list of nuclear facilities does not mean that the disposal of weapons happen immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so, he must make the bold decision to accept the US\u2018 offer to exchange the list of nuclear facilities with the declaration of the end of the war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Moon\u2018s visit to Pyongyang in September will begin a second round of summit diplomacy for denuclearization on the Korean peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This summit diplomacy should focus on the North Korean nuclear dismantlement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to make this happen, South Korea and the US should have solidarity on the issues of the timing and conditions of the end-of-war declaration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, the two Koreas and the US are on different sides on the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the two Koreas are urging for the end-of-war declaration, the US insists that it is a prerequisite for denuclearization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people say that even though North Korea has not taken a single meaningful step toward denuclearization, the declaration will be the right push in the direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This claim can creates cracks in the existing agreement between South Korea and the United States that the sanctions should remain until North Korea makes a significant move in dismantling its nuclear weapons and missiles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sending unilateral concessions to North Korea is unlikely to succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why, during the denuclearization negotiations with North Korea the principle of \u2018action for action\u2019 has been emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the United States and South Korea can not make a unified voice in the denuclearization of North Korea, at the end of the day, the biggest beneficiary will be North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note: Thae Yong Ho was serving as North Korea\u2019s deputy ambassador to the United Kingdom when he chose to defect with his family to South Korea in 2016.
