[ISSUE TALK] President Moon paves way for N. Korea-U.S. denuclearization talks during..

대담: 문대통령, G20서 한미 엇박자 불식하고 비핵화협상 재시동 For more analysis on this, we have with us here in the studio... Professor Min Jeong-hun from the Korea National Diplomatic Academy. It's great to have you with us. Thanks for having me. Q1 Looking at President Moon Jae-in's trip,... we can say that he's provided a shot in the arm for the stalled denuclearization talks between North Korea and the U.S. Before Moon's departure, the two sides hadn't even been able to reschedule their cancelled high-level talks. How do you assess the president's trip overall? Q2 One of the highlights of Moon's trip... was his summit with U.S. president Donald Trump -- who extended an olive branch he wants relayed to the North Korean leader. Trump said he was fond of Chairman Kim Jong-un,... and that he will make sure Kim gets "what he wants" if Pyeongyang denuclearizes. What significance do you think this message has? And could we say that the U.S. also acknowledged South Korea's role as a mediator? Q3 President Moon has also been able to use the G20 to promote and gather support for his peace initiative. He held bilateral summits, not only with traditional allies like the U.S., but also the Czech Republic, Argentina, New Zealand, South Africa and the Netherlands. What significance do these string of summits have? Q4 Now there's still lingering concerns that Seoul and Washington are on a divergent path when it comes to sanctions relief on North Korea. Do you think the recent Moon-Trump summit has been able to alleviate some of these concerns? Q5 What kind of compromises do you think President Moon is trying to juggle around? He's seemingly caught between Trump and Kim Jong-un, so what kind of middle ground is he trying to find? Q6 It seems that the president's trip has given optimism for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's visit to Seoul within this year. Now the ball is in Pyeongyang's court to decide. It's also contained within the Pyeongyang Declaration which was signed after the inter-Korean summit in September. What sort of reasons could be holding back the North? What can North Korea get out of this trip? Q7 The U.S., meanwhile doesn't seem as if it will go easy on the topic of sanctions,... unless it gets something concrete in return. How do you see these two countries working around their differences? Q8 Now I'm guessing there are a lot of variables to consider even during Kim's stay in Seoul, if he decides to come. South Korea has said it can't provide all the security and control the North is demanding,... and on top of that, there's a lack of time to prepare given that it's already December. How do you see this issue playing out? Q9 There are reports that Andrew Kim, the head of the CIA's Korea Mission Center... and Kim Yong-chol, North Korea's point man for negotiations with the U.S.,... held a 5-hour discussion at Panmunjeom on Monday. Now it's being told that Andrew Kim had met three to four North Korean officials,.. speculated to be senior officials who deal with inter-Korean affairs or dialogue with the U.S. Do you think it was to rearrange the high-level talks? What agendas do you think was on the table for discussion?
