[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] "It is impossible to avoid raising the question of whether the Korea-US Working Group plays a role in promoting the Korea-US joint declaration, or the opposite."

"It seems like the camp has already started (laughs). Just kidding. If we employ staff who can stay one step ahead of the US, we can lead the US."

This was a conversation between Lee Nak-yeon, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Jeong Se-hyun, former Minister of Unification.

On the 25th, Jeong gave a lecture at the National Assembly Members' Office Building on the topic of 'The North Korean Nuclear Issue: Causes and Solutions,' which Lee attended and asked questions about. Lee also analyzed that Kim Dae-jung's 'Four Major Powers Security Guarantee Theory' during the 1971 presidential election was realized through the Six-Party Talks.

He also expressed, "There is a deep regret wondering if the North Korean nuclear issue would have reached this point if North and South Korea had joined the UN simultaneously, and if North Korea had established diplomatic relations with the US and Japan, with a US embassy stationed in Pyongyang for regular contact."

In his lecture, former Minister Jeong said, "President Moon Jae-in should not be obsessed with achievements but should lay the groundwork to make it easier to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue," adding, "Efforts should be made to restore inter-Korean relations not only to the extent of restoring the April 27 Panmunjom Declaration but also to promote North Korea-US relations to a level where North Korea-US negotiations can be implemented. The ruling party needs to actively support this."
