In Singapore Thursday, President Moon Jae-in and Vice President Pence reaffirmed their countries' strong alliance of 65 years as they discussed the latest diplomacy related to North Korea.
Meeting on the sidelines of the ASEAN annual regional summits,… Moon and Pence held their first face-to-face since February... and the first since talks were called off last week between the U.S. and the North that would've been about the next summit between Kim Jong-un and President Trump.
President Moon said it was the South Korea-U.S. alliance that brought North Korea into dialogue in the first place.... and made the progress so far possible.
The three countries, he said, should move forward together.
"In order to realize complete denuclearization and lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula, relations between the Koreas and between North Korea and the U.S. should move forward in tandem."
To that,… Pence said he looks forward to the next meeting between President Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong-un,... and that Trump believes a second summit will lay a strong foundation for the joint objective of the region's long-term denuclearization.
"But much work remains, and I look forward to discussing with you the plans for another summit between the President and chairman Kim and how we can work even more closely together in the days ahead to ensure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula."
He added the U.S. will continue to work toward the ultimate objective of complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization,… while maintaining a consistent stance on the regime's nuclear weapons.
And Pence reportedly asked President Moon to keep dialogue going between the two Koreas, something he's an expert on.
What wasn’t on the table, though,… was perhaps lifting the sanctions on North Korea to help speed up its denuclearization,… something President Moon was aiming for when he met last month with European leaders.
Still,… the Moon-Pence meeting this Thursday reaffirmed that they're on the same trajectory when it comes to denuclearization.
