@Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on July 15, 2024.

The recent joint statement at the NATO summit included a stern warning against military cooperation between North Korea and Russia and China's duplicative defense industry assistance to Russia. China and North Korea refuted this joint statement, saying that NATO and its member countries were fabricating lies.

최근 NATO정상회담 공동성명문에서 북러간의 군사협력과 중국의 러시아에 대한 이중적 방산업 도움에 대해 엄중한 경고가 포함되었다. 중국과 북한은 이 공동성명에 대해 NATO와 회원국들이 허위로 조작하고 있다고 반박했다.

In particular, North Korea refuted the Joint Statement on the Approval of Nuclear Deterrence and Nuclear Operational Guidelines adopted at the ROK-US summit as an illegal document and criticized the U.S. and NATO for being more dangerous. The State Department responded by saying, “That is not accurate, and the North Korean government’s provocative and inaccurate He dismissed it, saying he would not respond to every comment he made.

특히 북한은 한미 정상회담에서 채택한 핵 억지력과 핵 작전지침 승인에 관한 공동성명을 불법문서라고 반박하면서 미국과 NATO가 더 위험한 하다고 비난한데 대해, 국무성은 “그것은 정확하지 않다면서 북한 정부의 도발적이고 부정확한 발언에 모두 답변하지 않을 것이라며 일축했다.

Meanwhile, Putin recognizes North Korea as a nuclear state, so it seems difficult for North Korea to come to talks to give up its nuclear weapons. In response to my question about whether there will be a change in U.S. policy toward North Korea, Spokesperson Miller said, “We are committed to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,” he added “Nothing has changed regarding this policy.”

한편 푸틴이 북한을 핵보유국으로 인정하고 있는데 북한이 핵 포기를 위해 대화에 나오기가 어려울 것 같는데, 북한에 대한 미국의 정책의 변화가 있느냐?는 나의 질문에 밀러 대변인은 “우리는 한반도의 완전한 비핵화에 전념하고 있다.”고 말했다. 그러면서 “본 정책과 관련하여 변경된 사항은 없다.”고 덧붙였다.

Since China and Russia are currently conducting joint maritime exercises, including live fires, we will have to pay close attention to how the solidarity between China, Russia and North Korea will develop in the future.

중국과 러시아가 실사격을 포함한 해상 연합훈련을 현재 진행중에 있기 때문에 앞으로 중러와 북한의 연대가 어떤식으로 전개될지 예의주시 해 봐야 될 것이다.

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): Thank you, Matt. Excuse me, two questions. At the U.S. and ROK summit last week, a joint statement was issued regarding nuclear deterrence and approval of nuclear operational guidelines of nuclear operational guidelines between U.S. and South Korea. In response, North Korea said joint statement was a illegal document and criticized the U.S. and NATO for being more dangerous. How will you react to this?

지난주 한미 정상회담에서 한미 간 핵 억지력과 핵 작전지침 승인에 관한 공동성명이 발표됐다. 이에 대해 북한은 공동성명이 불법문서라며 미국과 나토가 더 위험하다고 비난했다. 이에 대해 귀하는 어떻게 반응하시겠습니까?

A:(MR MILLER): Of course, that is not accurate. NATO remains a defensive alliance. And as always, I’m not going to respond to every provocative and inaccurate statement by the Government of North Korea.

물론 그것은 정확하지 않습니다. NATO는 여전히 방어 동맹으로 남아 있습니다. 그리고 늘 그렇듯, 저는 북한 정부의 도발적이고 부정확한 발언에 모두 답변하지 않을 것입니다.

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): And another one. Military cooperation between North Korea and Russia and Putin’s recognition of North Korea as a nuclear state has made it difficult for North Korea to engage in dialogue to give up the nuclear weapons. Are there any change in United States foreign policy to resolve North Korea’s nuclear program?

A:(MR MILLER): No. We remain committed to the full denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

아닙니다. 우리는 한반도의 완전한 비핵화에 전념하고 있습니다.

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): So you will still expect North Korea come up to talk with United States for this regarding —

그렇다면 북한이 다음과 관련하여 여전히 미국과 대화할 것으로 기대하십니까.

A:(MR MILLER): There has been no change with regard to this policy.

본 정책과 관련하여 변경된 사항은 없습니다.(끝)

(9-5-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on September 5, 2024. The war between Russia and Ukraine is raging again. Recently, Ukraine has been launching an onslaught against Russia, but is not producing any promising results. 러시아와 우크라이나 전쟁이 다시 치열하게 이어지고 있다. 최근 우크라이나는 러시아에 맹공을 퍼붇고 있지만 그럴싸한 결과를 내지 못하고 있다. Recently, Ukrainian President Zelensky publicly stated that he could easily defeat Russia if the United States allows him to use long-range missiles. However, the United States has not yet permitted Ukraine to use long-range weapons. 최근 젤렌스키 우크라이나 대통령은 미국이 장거리 미사일을 사용할수 있도록 허락해 준다면 충분히 러시아를 이길수 있다고 공개적으로 밝혔다. 하지만 미국은 아직 장거리 무기사용을 우크라이나에게 허락하지 않고 있다. Neighboring countries say that the United States' control of weapons in Ukraine could actually become an obstacle. I wonder why the United States provided long-range missiles to Ukraine if Ukraine cannot use long-range weapons. It would be even more ironic if it was only for defense. 주변 이웃국가들은 미국이 우크라이나에 무기를 콘트롤하는 것이 오히려 장애가 될수 있다고 말하고 있다. 우크라이나가 장거리 무기를...

The Korean Central News Agency reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un recently visited the North Korean National Defense Academy's Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Research Institute and provided local guidance on a strike test of a recently developed unmanned aerial vehicle and ordered the deployment of all-out troops for actual combat as soon as possible. 북한의 리더 김정은이 최근 북한 국방관학원 무인기 연구소를 방문해 최근 개발한 무인기의 타격 시험을 현지지도 하면서 빠른시일내에 실전을 위해 전면 부대 배치를 지시했다고 ‘조선중앙통신’이 보도했다. Kim Jong-un ordered that more strategic reconnaissance and multi-purpose attack drones, as well as various types of suicide-type drones, be developed and produced. It is assessed that if a large number of self-destructive drones, which were revealed for the first time, are sent to South Korea, it could be fatal as it could neutralize Korea's missile defense network. 김정은은 전략정찰 및 다목적 공격형 무인기 뿐만 아니라 각종 자폭형 무인기들도 더 많이 개발 생산해야 한다고 지시했다. 처음으로 공개한 자폭형 무인기를 대량으로 남한으로 보낼 경우 한국의 미사일 방어망을 무력화...

Military cooperation and arms trade between Russia and North Korea are concerns of the international community. However, arms cooperation between Russia, Iran, and Hamas is making the current situation in the Middle East more dangerous. 러시아와 북한간의 군사협력과 무기거래는 국제사회가 우려하고 있는 대목이다. 하지만 러시아와 이란 그리고 하마스간의 무기협력은 현재 중동사태를 더욱 위험하게 만들고 있다. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy recently disclosed that Russia attacked Kiev, Ukraine, with a North Korean-made missile and that four people, including a child, were killed. 젤렌스키 우크라이나 대통령은 최근 러시아가 우크라이나 키이우를 북한제 미사일로 공격했으며 어린이를 포함한 4명의 사상자가 나왔다고 공개했다. North Korea's Kim Jong-un reaffirmed his support for the war in Ukraine to Putin at the August 15 Liberation Day ceremony. This is inevitable because Kim Jong-un promised to receive cutting-edge military technology from Putin. 북한 김정은은 8.15 광복절 기념식에서 푸틴에게 우크라이나 전쟁을 지지한다고 재 다짐했다. 그럴수 밖에 없는게 김정은은 푸틴으로 부터 첨단군사 기술을 이전받기로 약속 했기 때문이다. Meanwhile, it was reported that Iran is attacking Israel with missiles supported by...
