CCTV News:The denuclearization negotiations between the DPRK and the United States have encountered bottlenecks. After being rejected by the DPRK for many times, the United States has repeatedly put forward requirements for declaring and handing over nuclear weapons, saying that the United States is "unwilling to wait too long." North Korea, on the other hand, advocates that without the measures to guarantee the system such as the Final War Declaration, it cannot abandon its nuclear program first.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Korean intelligence sources said that more than 10,000 troops can be identified at Merrill Lynch Airport near Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang, as well as equipment of ground troops such as artillery. Usually, when North Korea holds a military parade in Kim Il Sung Square, it will drill at Merrill Lynch Airport in advance. Therefore, the Korean military believes that North Korea is preparing for the military parade for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China on September 9.
The military of South Korea and the United States are stepping up surveillance and reconnaissance activities against North Korea, with the focus on whether intercontinental ballistic missiles will appear on the military parade. In the military parade in February this year, North Korea displayed the "Mars -15" which was considered as an intercontinental ballistic missile, which triggered regional tensions. In the sensitive period of denuclearization negotiations, this symbolic weapon has been paid special attention to. However, the Korean media reported that up to now, the South Korean military has not found intercontinental ballistic missiles, nor has it identified the shielding cloth used to hide missiles.
Professor Jin Dongye, Institute of Far East Studies, Han Guoqing South University: "North Korea has the strength not to succumb to the United States. In order to give greater significance to the 70 th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it may make a grand military parade."
U.S ambassador to the United Nations: sanctions against the DPRK will not be relaxed.
According to observers, hardliners in the United States are losing patience. On the 10th, Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao website reported that US Ambassador to the United Nations Haley said, "They must understand that the international community still expects them to achieve denuclearization. If they want to delay, we are willing to wait, but we are not willing to wait too long." Haley further stressed that US Secretary of State Pompeo has put forward the "substantive" demands of the United States to North Korea, and Washington will not soften them or relax sanctions against Pyongyang.
Repeatedly saying that the US denuclearization plan is not North Korea’s "dish"?
What are the so-called "substantive" requirements? The website of Vaux magazine in the United States disclosed on the 8 th that the previously undisclosed timetable for North Korea’s nuclear abandonment proposed by the United States was as follows: North Korea handed over some nuclear warheads within six to eight months; The United States or a third country took over and removed the nuclear warhead from North Korea. However, it is not clear what concessions the United States is willing to make besides lifting sanctions or removing North Korea from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. According to two people familiar with the matter, this is the North Korean nuclear abandonment plan that Pompeo has repeatedly proposed to the DPRK in the past two months, but it has been repeatedly rejected. To make matters more complicated, how many nuclear bombs North Korea actually has has not been disclosed to the United States. Therefore, it is also difficult to verify the final situation of North Korea’s nuclear abandonment.
DPRK: The United States should respond positively to the DPRK’s efforts
Host of MBC TV station in Korea：“‘ Will not relax sanctions against the DPRK ’ Recently, hardliners in the United States have frequently made such remarks. North Korea strongly condemned this through a spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. North Korea also said that even if it is not too late, the United States should respond to North Korea’s sincere efforts and urge President Trump to make a decision. "
North Korea’s Foreign Minister: North Korea should keep its nuclear knowledge.
According to Korean Central News Agency’s report on August 9, North Korea recently made a speech in the name of a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that "some senior officials of the U.S. government are keen to stir up the turmoil of sanctions against North Korea against Trump’s will". The United States unilaterally adhered to "denuclearization first" and advocated international sanctions against the DPRK, which failed the expectations of the DPRK.
On the 10th, during his visit to Iran, North Korean Foreign Minister Li Yonghao said, "In order to abide by the agreement with the United States, North Korea agreed to denuclearize. But it is also clear that the United States will not give up its hostile policy toward North Korea, so North Korea should retain its nuclear knowledge. "
The DPRK urges relevant countries to sign the Final War Declaration.
Li Yonghao emphasized the DPRK’s position of agreeing to denuclearization. However, the DPRK’s insistence on denuclearization requires preconditions. Recently, the official newspaper of the Workers’ Party of Korea published a commentary entitled "Publishing the Final War Declaration is the primary task", saying: "Everything has a sequence to achieve its goals" and "The Final War Declaration will be an opportunity to transform the Armistice Agreement into a Peace Agreement." Since US Secretary of State Pompeo visited the DPRK at the beginning of last month, the DPRK has been urging relevant countries to sign the Final War Declaration.
Hong Min, researcher of Korea Unification Research Institute: "Why not even sign the Final War Declaration, which has become the basis of trust, but blindly and unilaterally ask for a timetable for denuclearization? (North Korea) basically means this."
Korean media believe that on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China on September 9 and the coming of the Party’s founding day on October 10, the main goal in North Korea is still to pay close attention to the economy and hope to achieve economic results through denuclearization.
