FOREIGN MINISTER'S INTERVIEW WITH BBC

[Minister Kang] I think we.. we understand North Korea better than anybody, having dealt with North Korea for decades, having had series of discussions off and on. We’ve not had any significant engagement in recent past, but this is an opportunity. You can have all kinds of theories of why they are here, but there are obviously calculations going on the part of North Korean decision-makers as to their actions. But I think, in the end, we have to make the most of it.

[Minister Kang] We track every messaging coming from North Korea, coming from our ally very very carefully. The daily management of the messaging is a big part of foreign policy, but again, we have to focus on the longer term. I think the longer term is on the denuclearization goal. We are very much on the same page with our American ally, but in fact (the) entire international community. The denuclearization objective is written into the series of (UN) Security Council resolutions and it commits everybody, all UN members, towards that goal.
