[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the afternoon of the 30th, the Blue House held a Standing Committee meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) chaired by Suh Hoon, Director of the National Security Office, to review the policy speech by Kim Jong-un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of North Korea.

The attendees evaluated North Korea's measures to restore inter-Korean communication lines in early next month in relation to General Secretary Kim's policy speech. They also reaffirmed the position that dialogue channels must be restored promptly to resolve pending issues between the two Koreas through consultation.

The attendees received reports on recent consultations among the chief nuclear envoys of South Korea, the United States, and China regarding the promotion of inter-Korean dialogue, the declaration of the end of the Korean War, and the resumption of North Korea-US talks, and agreed to further strengthen consultations among related countries for the early resumption of dialogue.

Furthermore, they emphasized that it is more important than ever to maintain stability on the Korean Peninsula without creating military tensions.
