Kang Kyung-Wha spoke of a turning point in relations with North Korea, at the opening of the World Economic Forum on ASEAN 2018.
“We have a historic opportunity to realise lasting peace and de-nuclearisation on the Korean peninsula,” South Korea’s Foreign Minister said at the opening of the World Economic Forum on ASEAN 2018.
The two countries, who have been on a hostile footing for seven decades, marched under the same flag at the Winter Olympics earlier this year. Continuing a more positive tone, Kang Kyung-Wha, Foreign Minister of the Republic of Korea, spoke of a possible turning point.
“For three decades, North Korea’s nuclear and missile programme evolved to be a serious and the greatest threat. But now through extensive diplomatic endeavours… over the past year we have a very real chance to achieve North Korea’s complete de-nuclearisation and establish lasting peace on the peninsula,” she said.
