Chung Dong-young: “Expressions like “main enemy” should be avoided to achieve genuine mutual respect.”

As agreed in the 2018 Singapore summit between North Korea and the U.S., both sides should immediately resume talks to end mutual hostility and establish a new relationship.

The role of politics and politicians is to turn hatred and hostility into mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.

The Ministry of Unification has its own role, just as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does. It is only natural for us to have different views.

We must move away from the old notion that a peace regime can only be discussed after the North Korean nuclear issue is resolved ... We need to pursue a phased and pragmatic solution. It is time for a paradigm shift.
