Negotiations on the denuclearization of North Korea seem to have been halted due to President Moon Jae-in's directive to actively promote the performance of strategic weapons, and the new weapons competition between South and North Korea.
President Moon said, "The cruise missile also succeeded, which means that it is much faster than that of North Korea. By doing so, I hope that the people will have pride and confidence.”
Park continued, "When I saw President Moon Jae-in suggesting that South Korea and the United States launch counter-missiles to President Trump and instructing them to actually launch counter-missiles from the East Coast, I thought he had a stronger sense of security and a stronger national view than any previous president. "President Moon also showed his determination to send a strong warning to North Korea through the bombing force demonstration by sortieing out our fighter jets against the North's continued provocation," he said on social media.
President Park's instructions to the staff meeting revealed, "The cruise missile also succeeded, which means that it is much faster than that of North Korea" and "The test-fire of an air-to-surface missile was also successful. If installed on the -21, it will have a world-class weapon system and will be of great help to the export of the KF-21. It is an 'active publicity instruction' for 'advantage'.
Regarding President Moon's military augmentation, Chief Park said, "If we look at the increase in the 'defense force improvement cost' by government, which means the cost of purchasing and developing weapons to secure new power, the Roh Moo-hyun administration 7.06%, the Lee Myung-bak administration 5.86%, the Park Geun-hye administration 4.65%, Moon Jae-in The government's 7.38%, indicating that the progressive government overwhelms the conservative government not only in the overall increase in defense spending, but also in the increase in defense capability improvement costs."
At the staff meeting, President Moon said, "Yesterday's missile test launch was very successful." "It was a long-distance missile test aimed at the western sea of Jeju Island, but due to bad weather at the point of impact, it was not possible to clearly capture the moment of the hit, only using the instrument panel. It's a bit disappointing to confirm it, but it's a very successful thing," said Chief Park.
Park said on Facebook on the 2nd, "President Moon Jae-in gave great significance to the success of other strategic weapons tests, such as the launch of a supersonic cruise missile and a long-range air-to-ground missile aircraft on the 16th of last month, one day after the successful launch of the South Korean military's submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). ” He said 'direct observation'.
North Korea released the long-distance surface-to-air missile test launch the day before by communication right after President Moon proposed the declaration of an end to the war by using a Marine Corps helicopter at an event aboard the Marado on Armed Forces Day on the 1st. -15K fighter, KF-16 fighter, early warning E-737 Peace Eye, maritime patrol aircraft P-3C, multi-purpose aerial refueling transport aircraft KC-330, etc. flew over the President's event venue, and North Korea test-fired a new anti-aircraft missile that day. In the name of 'National Defense Science Academy', 'Party Secretary Park Jeong-chun's visit' was released.
Chief Park said on Facebook, "The development of such a strategic weapon cannot be succeeded only by the president's security officer or will. The defense budget that can promote it, especially the 'defense improvement cost' that is invested in actual military force enhancement must be strongly supported." He announced that he promoted the policy of increasing armaments.
In his speech on the 29th of last month, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said “respect for each other” and “dual attitude, withdrawal of hostile viewpoints and policies” as “unchangeable demands” and “prior to declaring the end of the war, prior to declaring an end to inter-Korean relations, etc. It is a major task that needs to be addressed,” he said.
Chairman Kim said, "The US insists on 'diplomatic engagement' and 'dialogue without preconditions', but it is “a façade to cover hostilities” and “it is just an extension of the hostile policy pursued by past US administrations.” The policy was revoked.”
In his address to the government in January, Chairman Kim said, “The reality of the United States and the true intention of the DPRK policy will never change no matter who comes to power in the United States.” North Korea will deal with the United States on the principle of first-elect,” he said. Regarding the “hostile policy,” North Korean Ambassador to the United Nations Kim Seong delivered a speech at the UN General Assembly on the 27th of last month, saying, “Joint military exercises aimed at us on and around the Korean peninsula and We must take the first step toward abandoning the policy in the event of hostility to the DPRK by permanently suspending the use of various strategic weapons,” he said with an increase in armaments.
In his address to the municipal administration, Chairman Kim said, “Various military exercises and maneuvers to increase armed forces are overtly taking place under the pretext of checking the DPRK in south Korea. and is paying close attention to the fact that it is destroying the stability and balance around the Korean peninsula and causing more complex risks of clashes between the north and the south,” he said. We are accelerating the development of a powerful new weapon system that can thoroughly suppress quasi-violence.”
