Moon says will handle N.K. issues without role of foreign countries

[krzepice1976]

South Korea's new administration will take the initiative in global efforts to denuclearize North Korea without depending on the role of foreign countries, President Moon Jae-in said Thursday.

   "We will take the lead in dealing with Korean Peninsula issues without relying on the role of foreign countries," Moon said in a congratulatory video message to the opening of the Jeju Forum, which kicked off a three-day run on this resort island. "We will launch an entirely renewed initiative and boldly implement it for lasting peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula
We will work with the international community. In cooperation with relevant countries, including the U.S. and China, we will bring North Korea out to dialogue through persuasion and pressure, and achieve the resolution of the North Korean nuclear issue, as well as improvements in inter-Korean relations and U.S.-North Korea relations," Moon said.http://m.yna.co.kr/mob2/en/contents_en.jsp?cid=AEN20170601006700315&site=0200000000&mobile

I wonder if there is something to be read in between the lines here.

What's Moon trying to accomplish by ordering investigation into THAAD? Buying time to maneuver between US & China. https://t.co/vCZVBu2MsP

Savvy Korean observers think Moon sending his Nat Security Adviser Chung to see McMaster was to "save the summit," which is only 2 wks away.
What Moon's really trying to do is "buy time" while he tries to appease both China & US: he'll appease US first, as the summit is 3 wks out.
As SY Lee said, it may depend on what summit reception he gets: if it's cold & he sees "Korea passing" gain momentum, he might go hard left.

If that happens, he really might uproot THAAD & cater to the center-left electorate that voted for him by pivoting to China & engaging NK.

Certainly possible as the US continues to signal it wants conflict. If Moon does pivot, he may not get the results he is hoping for.

Good idea I think on Moon's current agenda, anyway you look at his past positions he has a fine line to tread as president of SK.

Unless anyone has some good RUMINT or HUMINT it looks like things are deescalating in the Korean theater.

Don't be fooled by a lack of news, especially television news. Things are still very tense over there.

Don't be fooled by a lack of news, especially television news. Things are still very tense over there.

Especially with Russia calling THAAD a direct threat to them

any pivot in DRPK directionn is very risky for Moon.

.North Korea "fully rejects" the latest U.N sanctions against its citizens and entities as a "hostile act" and will continue its nuclear weapons development without a delay, its foreign ministry spokesman said on Sunday.The sanctions resolution "is a crafty hostile act with the purpose of putting a curb on the DPRK's buildup of nuclear forces, disarming it and causing economic suffocation to it," the foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by its official KCNA news agency. DPRK is short for Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the North's official name.
"Whatever sanctions and pressure may follow, we will not flinch from the road to build up nuclear forces which was chosen to defend the sovereignty of the country and the rights to national existence and will move forward towards the final victory," the spokesman said

.The U.S. military is fully equipped to destroy North Korean missiles, said Guam Homeland Security Advisor George Charfauros Jr. yesterday, after the local emergency responders were briefed on the nation’s missile defense capabilities.
"My team – which is composed of Homeland Security, our federal partners and our military partners – have full faith and confidence that we can handle this threat," Charfauros said, speaking to the Guam Chamber of Commerce membership yesterday. "There’s a higher probability of you being hit by lightning than a missile from North Korea.In anticipation of potential questions from island residents, Homeland Security and the Office of Civil Defense also briefed island mayors yesterday morning.
Agana Heights Mayor Paul McDonald said the mayors were informed at the briefing of the kinds of defense systems available to Guam, including how defense systems in Japan and South Korea can intercept incoming missiles before they reach the island's airspace.
The briefing was provided in case constituents had questions about rising threats around the region, such as from North Korea, McDonald said.

Per Suzanne DiMaggio, who took part in Track 1.5 talks w NK in Oslo, NK seeks dialogue w US under right conditions

DiMaggio talked with NK's Choe Son-Hee in Oslo. Per Nihon Kezai, she can't disclose talk details but NK is inclined to have dialogue with US
is dangerous. Need 'active diplomacy' to look for solutions & alternatives." NK fired its missile immediately after this "track 1.5 talks"

When asked if NK's ready to talk to Moon, Choe seems suppress laughter, perhaps aware of the pending missile launch
