At the Korea-Australia summit, the Australian prime minister's remarks about "economic sanctions on North Korea" were turned into "active cooperation on the denuclearization of North Korea" by the presidential office.
President Yoon Seok-yeol and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Norman Albanage held a summit meeting in Spain on the 28th in the presidential office.
Regarding “Australia said that it intends to vigorously and strictly implement economic sanctions imposed on North Korea on the North Korean nuclear issue” (Presidential Office’s announcement of the Prime Minister’s remarks), the Presidential Office said, We reaffirmed that Australia will actively cooperate in the peace policy on the Korean Peninsula."
At a staff meeting held today in Madrid, President Yoon said, "Korea's Indo-Pacific strategy and peace and security initiative meet NATO's new strategic concept," and announced US support for the Indo-Pacific strategy.
On the other hand, NATO Secretary-General said on the 28th that NATO did not see China as an adversary, saying, "I am disappointed that it does not condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine and is spreading false stories about NATO and the West." China needs to cooperate with China on issues such as climate change.”
Kim Tae-hyo, 1st Deputy Security Minister, said in Madrid on the 28th, "I came here to declare that the Republic of Korea will take the lead in defending liberal democracy, human rights, and the rule of law."
The Korea-Australia agreement announced by the presidential office said, "We hope that the two countries will cooperate closely based on democracy, human rights and market economy values." To empathize> because 'freedom' is not in agreement.
The Labor Party's prime minister is attempting to improve relations with China by ushering in the Labor Party's rule in the general election in May and breaking away from the hard-line conservatives of the former Liberal Party. The Labor Party is Australia's oldest political party, founded in 1901, and its political ideology is against liberalism.
NATO Secretary-General Jans Stoltenberg said on the 27th that the new strategic concept would be “for the first time, addressing the challenges China poses to our security, interests and values”.
Regarding the summit, NATO Secretary-General said, "Russia is using energy as a weapon of coercion. NATO member countries aim to reduce civilian and military greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. “All member countries are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions as part of the Paris Agreement. Their military will also contribute to the use of renewable energy, climate-friendly synthetic fuels and more energy-efficient solutions," the Guardian reported on the 28th.
NATO's new strategy was first defined as a 'structural challenge' by the 30 allies as a strategic direction for 10 years until 2032, in the joint statement of the June summit with China last year.
On the 28th, Axios, an American Republican conservative media outlet, reported in an interview with a high-ranking government official (including the president's office) visiting South Korea, "If China invaded Taiwan, the US expected military intervention."
In response to a reporter's question, "Does Korea want the US to take a military response to China's invasion of Taiwan," a South Korean government official said, "It will lead to requests for military assistance from the United States and Japan, but it feels more comfortable to think that the United States will respond." said.
In particular, this official reported that he did not "answer" to a question about whether Korea was willing to send troops (Taiwan).
As for the discussion of the South Korea-U.S. conservative strategic group on the foreign policy of the Korean government, it is known that the strategic group Atlantic Council recently arranged a visit to Korea by foreign reporters such as 'Axios' and a meeting with Korean foreign and security officials, and 'Taiwan and the Korean Peninsula' were mainly inquired about. .
At the NATO Summit, the hard-line stance of the United States and Britain and the moderateism of Germany and France collide over the concept of a new strategy for China. The remark seems to be 'supporting the US Indo-Pacific strategy'.
In addition to Korea and Japan of the G7, Australia and New Zealand, where Japan and China compete, were invited as partners for this NATO summit.
Pro-Trump's interview with Axio and the South Korean government seems to agree with the deployment of US forces in the Taiwan Strait.
The Atlantic Council, the organizer of the interview, has been in close contact with the South Korean Ministry of Unification as a conservative strategic group for the hard-line conservative strategy against the Soviet Union to strengthen the Reagan regime in the Cold War.
South Korea's Indo-Pacific strategy has not been revealed other than President Yoon's phone call to Prime Minister Mori of India while he was a party member and saying, "Let's share liberal democracy." India has the longest communist history and Prime Minister Mori is a nationalist.
The Australian Prime Minister of the Labor Party appointed senator Penny Wing of the Labor Party of Chinese descent to the quad meeting in Japan at the end of May and immediately attended the meeting and began to check the US policy toward China.
The Korea-Australia summit was attended by Foreign Minister Park Jin Choi, Senior Economic Affairs Officer, Kim Tae-hyo, and Deputy Security Minister Lee Moon-hee, Foreign Secretary.
In Australia, only aides were present, including Matthew Hudson's cabinet secretary for international relations, Jenny Mason's deputy chief of staff, and Casey Klugman, senior adviser for the prime minister's office.
The meeting between President Yoon and NATO Secretary-General on the 28th was canceled by NATO on the same day.
Australia never used the term 'North Korea's denuclearization' as it announced an agreement on 'the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula' at a three-party defense ministers' meeting with the United States and Japan on the 11th when the Conservative government was in power.
