[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Liberty Korea Party floor leader Na Kyung-won criticized Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung on the 9th, saying, “Lee’s claims about resuming the Kaesong Industrial Complex and postponing the South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises are absurd and ridiculous.”

On the same day, former floor leader Na said on Facebook, “Now is not the time to talk about resuming the Kaesong Industrial Complex. We need to bring about substantial change in North Korea through tighter sanctions,” adding, “The South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises need normalization, not postponement. I hope the U.S. presidential election will be a meaningful opportunity for a stronger South Korea-U.S. alliance and permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula.”

Former floor leader Na emphasized, “The first message from President-elect Joe Biden was unity. He also emphasized healing and being a president for all Americans. This holds great implications for our political circles as well,” and added, “Since the Moon Jae-in administration, our politics have been stained by division and conflict incitement, splitting the people, vote calculations, and politics for support bases. Unity, healing, a president for all citizens?our people deeply desire this as well.”

Former floor leader Na stated, “The Biden administration should seek progressive changes in North Korea policy. It must remain faithful to fundamental values such as human rights and liberal democracy based on a stronger South Korea-U.S. alliance,” and said, “We must not repeat misjudgments such as surprise events, talks for the sake of talks, or premature reconciliation moods. We must move boldly toward ‘real peace’ through the complete denuclearization of North Korea, not ‘fake peace’ for short-term gains.”
