US ambassador wants to meet North Korea ‘anytime, anywhere’ | The Story of Kim Jong Un

The US is using a new approach in Pyongyang with nuclear weapons to try to return to negotiations.

Sung Kim, the US special envoy to North Korea, has requested that he meet with Pyongyang officials “anywhere, anytime” in the event of a crisis between the two.

In the meantime, the US will continue to impose sanctions on the United Nations Security Council in North Korea for its use of nuclear weapons and urge other countries to do the same, Kim said on Monday.

“We continue to believe that the DPRK will respond positively to our publication, and I urge that we meet again at any time without cause,” he said, referring to North Korea and its name, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Kim, who was elected to last month’s meeting between US President Joe Biden and South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in, he arrived in Seoul on Saturday for a five-day visit.

Biden’s management is involved was already promised “an effective, permissible” approach to North Korea, combined with persuasive efforts, to force the country to abandon its banned nuclear weapons and weapons programs.

In an initial response to Biden’s review, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said last week Pyongyang needs to be prepared both “negotiations and debates”.

Negotiations to persuade Pyongyang to supply its nuclear weapons have been suspended since a third meeting between North Korean leader and Biden fighter Donald Trump was called off.

The US ambassador Kim met in collaboration with South Korean ambassador Noh Kyu-duk, as well as a third delegation about his Japanese counterpart, Takehiro Funakoshi.

Noh said he and Kim had discussed ways to reconcile and helped resume talks with North Korea. Noh and Funakoshi also had to hold a double meeting to discuss North Korea.

Last week, Kim Jong Un said North Korea’s food crisis was “critical”, warning a country with an agricultural sector that has long struggled to feed itself and is now standing on its own to protect itself from coronavirus epidemics.

State-certified KCTV on Sunday said Kim Jong Un and senior officials had discussed “emergency measures” to address the “food crisis” in the country.

North Korea has said it did not have the virus – researchers say – but did pay a lot of money for its defenses.

Trade with China, which contributes to the economy, has declined slightly, while all foreign aid services are banned.
