What is President Lee Jae Myung's proposed plan for North Korea's denuclearization?

President Lee Jae Myung plans to propose a phased denuclearization strategy for North Korea at the UN General Assembly. This approach involves three stages: 'stop, reduction and dismantlement.' He believes this step-by-step method is a practical way to address the North Korean nuclear issue.

Are South Korea and the US willing to talk with North Korea?

Yes, President Lee Jae Myung stated that both South Korea and the United States are willing to re-engage with Pyongyang. This willingness to resume dialogue is being highlighted as part of the push for phased denuclearization, despite recent weapons tests by North Korea.

Why is a phased denuclearization considered necessary?

President Lee Jae Myung considers a phased approach necessary because North Korea's nuclear and missile capabilities have already advanced significantly. He believes waiting for complete denuclearization all at once is unrealistic and that North Korea's capabilities will continue to advance, escalating the threat in the interim.
