[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Jang Sung-min, Chairman of the World and Northeast Asia Peace Forum, on the 21st urged President Moon Jae-in, who is visiting the United States, to "present a new platform for the Korea-US alliance."

In a post on his Facebook, Chairman Jang argued, "To open a new window of opportunity in the deadlocked inter-Korean relations and to serve as a new bridge in North Korea-US relations, the Korea-US alliance must be upgraded."

He emphasized that the Korea-US alliance should be expanded into a democracy alliance, a bio alliance, and a Fourth Industrial Revolution alliance, and that South Korea should actively participate in the Quad. He added, "President Moon will not be able to easily resolve the four issues without strengthening Korea-US alliance diplomacy," and said, "If it is true that our government rejected the US Quad proposal, unnecessary misunderstandings need to be thoroughly cleared up."

Chairman Jang stated, "Currently, Korea's security, vaccine, and semiconductor crises can only be resolved by expanding and strengthening the framework of the Korea-US alliance," and said, "Therefore, President Moon needs to qualitatively elevate the nature of the Korea-US alliance through this Korea-US summit and expand and transform the role of the alliance."

Finally, Chairman Jang explained, "The diplomatic achievement of President Moon's visit to the United States lies in strengthening the Korea-US alliance from alpha to omega. The success or failure of vaccine diplomacy also depends on Korea-US alliance diplomacy," adding, "This is because the beginning and end of Biden's foreign policy lie in alliance strengthening policy."
