[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The Future United Party's Special Committee on Foreign Affairs and Security criticized on the 28th, saying, "As soon as North Korea mentioned that it would put its military action plans on hold, the government and ruling party immediately voiced a unified stance on a declaration to end the war and a conciliatory policy toward North Korea," adding, "They have not even recovered from the shock of the unilateral demolition of the inter-Korean joint liaison office, yet they are once again bringing up appeasement toward North Korea, which shows a complete lack of realism."


Park Jin, chairman of the Special Committee on Foreign Affairs and Security, stated at a meeting held at the National Assembly on the same day, "If we pursue a declaration to end the war without even the minimum safety measures, caught up in the illusion of the already failed Korea driver theory, it will result in recognizing North Korea's possession of nuclear weapons, weakening the ROK-U.S. alliance, and providing a pretext for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Korea," and urged, "I hope the call for a declaration to end the war is immediately withdrawn."


Regarding the memoir of former White House National Security Council (NSC) advisor John Bolton, Park said, "Whether all of it is true needs to be verified, but the Moon Jae-in administration is stubbornly denying it. Without an accurate explanation of the facts, the suspicion of the public and the international community will only grow," and demanded, "President Moon Jae-in should personally come forward and publicly clarify the exact facts."


The Special Committee on Foreign Affairs and Security publicly questioned: ▲ Who proposed the U.S.-North Korea summit in Singapore on June 12, 2018? ▲ Is it true that President Moon tried to participate in every U.S.-North Korea summit but was rejected by both sides? ▲ Is it true that President Moon agreed with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un that denuclearization would occur within a year? ▲ Is it true that the declaration to end the war on the Korean Peninsula originated not from North Korea but from the Moon Jae-in administration's unification agenda? ▲ Is it true that during the inter-Korean summit at Panmunjom, when Kim raised the issue of the ROK-U.S. joint military exercises, President Moon said it depended solely on the U.S. decision?
