SEOUL, Nov 14 — South Korean President Moon Jae-in said today it would not be easy for reclusive North Korea to destroy its nuclear arsenal quickly, even if wanted to, given its weapons programmes were so developed. North Korea is under heavy international pressure to end its weapons programmes, pursued in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions. But it has vowed never to give up its nuclear arsenal. Speaking to reporters in the Philippines, Moon said that if North Korea agreed to hold talks, negotiations could be held with all options open. “If talks begin to resolve the North Korea nuclear issue, I feel it will be realistically difficult for North Korea to completely destroy its nuclear capabilities when their nuclear and missile arsenal are at a developed stage,” Moon said in a briefing. “If so, North Korea’s nuclear programme should be suspended, and negotiations could go on to pursue complete denuclearisation.” Moon’s remarks were made available by the presidential Blue House. Last week, the North said it did not oppose dialogue, but would “never put the issue related to the supreme interests of the DPRK and security of its people on the bargaining table”. “We are not interested in such dialogue and negotiations in the least,” the North’s official news agency said, referring to the country by its official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The North defends the programmes as a necessary defence against US plans to invade. The United States, which has 28,500 troops in South Korea, a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean war, denies any such intention. US President Donald Trump has traded insults and threats with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as North Korea races towards its goal of developing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of reaching the United States. Trump threatened in his maiden UN address to “totally destroy” North Korea if the United States was threatened and has said the time for talking, the policy of previous US administrations, is over. Moon reiterated his stance that now was the time to increase pressure on North Korea so that it would come to talks. He said differences in understanding between South Korea and China, North Korea’s lone major ally, regarding the deployment of the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system on South Koran soil had not been resolved. “China has not said it has changed its stance to agree to THAAD and still says THAAD infringes on its security. We have, in turn, explained THAAD is not aimed at China but only towards curbing North Korea’s nuclear and missile provocations,” he said. Last month, South Korea and China agreed to end a year-long standoff over THAAD which had seen South Korean companies doing business in China suffer from retaliation against the system’s deployment. — Reuters

वासिङ्टन, वैशाख १८ । अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाली नेता किम जोङ उनलाई ‘कठिन परिस्थिति राम्रोसँग सामना गर्ने अत्यन्त चलाख नेता’ भनेका छन् । अमेरिकी टेलिभिजन च्यानल सीबीएससँगको कुुराकानीमा ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाली नेताले सानो उमेरमै सत्ता सम्हालेको र यस्तोमा पनि केही अत्यन्त कडा व्यक्तिको सामना गर्नुपरेको बताए । उत्तर कोरियाविरुद्ध अमेरिकाले सैन्य कारवाही गर्ने चर्चा चलिरहेको विषयमा भने ट्रम्पले स्पष्ट जवाफ दिएनन् । उत्तर कोरियाको सहयोगी चीनले उत्तर कोरियालाई परमाणु र सैन्य गतिविधि कम गर्न दबाब दिए पनि त्यो सफल नभएको उनको भनाइ थियो । उत्तर कोरियाले पछिल्लो दुई हप्ताभित्र दुई पटक गरेको मिसाइल परीक्षण असफल भएको छ । उत्तर कोरियाले लामो दूरीको मिसाइलमा साना परमाणु हतियार राख्न सकिने गरि बनाउने कोशिस गरिरहेको छ । यसको मार हान्ने क्षमता अमेरिकासम्म पुग्ने विश्वास गरिएको छ । कोरियाली प्रायद्वीपमा अहिले तनावको स्थिति छ । उत्तर कोरियाले लगातार मिसाइल परीक्षण गरिरहेको छ भने छैटौं परमाणु परीक्षण गर्ने चेतावनी दिएको छ । @एजेन्सी
