(7-24-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on July 24, 2024. It is reported that North Korea invited the Russian Deputy Minister of Defense to Pyongyang as part of a new defense treaty with Russia and discussed recommitting to military cooperation with Kim Jong-un. 북한은 러시아와 맺은 새 방위조약의 일환으로 러시아 국방부차관을 평양으로 초청해 김정은과 군사협력을 재 다짐하기로 논의했다고 알려졌다. It was then reported that North Korea invited Belarusian Foreign Minister Ryzenkov on the 23rd and pledged solidarity and military cooperation between North Korea, Russia, and Belarus. This was suggested at a meeting between Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko and Vladimir Putin last September, saying, "We can think of a way for Russia, Belarus, and North Korea to cooperate." 이어 북한은 23일 벨라루스 리젠코프 외무장관을 초정해 북한과 러시아, 벨라루스간의 연대와 군사 협력을 다짐했다고 전해졌다. 이는 지난 9월 알렉산드르 루카셴코 벨라루스 대통령과 블라디미르 푸틴 대통령과의 회담에서 "러시아, 벨라루스, 북한 세 국가가 협력하는 방안을 생각할 수 있다"며 3국 협력을 제안한 바 있었다. Since Belarus has served as an outpost for Putin's military war effort, including recently upgrading facilities capable of...

(7-23-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) "The United States wants peace on terms acceptable to Ukraine." @Q&A with a Pentagon Press Secretary General Pat Ryder and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on July 23, 2024. As a follow-up meeting after North Korea and Russia recently signed a new defense treaty promising strategic military cooperation, a Russian military delegation led by Russian Deputy Minister of Defense Alexei Krivoruchko visited North Korea on the 18th and had a meeting with Kim Jong-un. 북한과 러시아가 최근 전략적 군사협력을 약속하는 새 방위조약을 맺은후 후속회담으로 알렉세이 크리보루치코 러시아 국방부 차관이 이끄는 러시아 군사대표단이 18일 북한을 방문해 김정은과 회담을 했다. It was reported that North Korea and Russia exchanged opinions on weapons and the defense industry, and Kim Jong-un expressed North Korea's strong support and solid solidarity with Russia's special military operation against Ukraine. 북러 양국은 무기와 방산업에 대해 의견을 나누었고, 김정은은 러시아의 우크라이나에 대한 특수군사작전에 대해 북한의 강력한 지지와 굳건한 연대를 표시했다고 보도됐다. Kim Jong-un said the same thing during his meeting with Russian President Putin last month, saying he strongly supported special military operations against Ukraine. 김정은은 지난달 푸틴 러시아 대통령과의 회담에서도 우크라이나에 대한 특수군사작전을...

(7-18-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on July 18, 2024. Recently, North Korean diplomats stationed overseas are choosing to defect one after another. High-ranking North Korean diplomats stationed in Kuwait, Italy, France, and Cuba on the 14th defected to South Korea and the United States, showing the crisis of the North Korean regime. 최근 해외에 주둔하고 있는 북한 외교관들이 잇달아 탈북을 선택하고 있다. 쿠웨이트, 이탈리,아, 프랑스 그리고 지난 14일 쿠바 주재 북한 고위급 외교관이 한국등 미국으로 탈북하면서 북한 정권의 위기를 보여주고 있다. As North Korea develops nuclear weapons and missiles, it mobilizes foreign diplomats to raise funds and reprimands diplomats who lack performance, so after much deliberation, they have no choice but to defect from North Korea and go into exile. 북한이 핵.미사일을 개발하면서 자금조달에 해외 외교관들을 동원하면서 실적이 부족한 외교관들에 대해 문책을 하기 때문에 이들은 큰 고민 끝에 탈북과 망명을 선택할 수밖에 없다. North Korean diplomats stationed overseas are experiencing firsthand what capitalism is. The choice of diplomats who lived in an oppressed regime without freedom can be seen as an extremely natural...

(7-16-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Press Secretary General Ryder and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on July 16, 2024 U.S. President Joe Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol met on the occasion of the NATO Summit on the 11th, held a summit meeting, and adopted a joint statement on nuclear deterrence and nuclear operation guidelines on the Korean Peninsula. The joint statement stated, “President Biden repeatedly emphasized that the United States’ extended deterrence commitment to South Korea is supported by all categories of U.S. capabilities, including nuclear weapons,” and “President Yoon Suk-yeol said that all categories of Korean capabilities are supported by the joint defense of the U.S.-ROK alliance.” “We reiterated that it will greatly contribute to our posture,” 조 바이든 미국대통령과 윤석열 한국대통령이 지난 11일 NATO 정상회의를 계기로 만나 회담을 갖고 한반도 핵억제 및 핵작전 지침에 관한 공동성명을 채택했다. 공동성명에는 “바이든 대통령은 한국에 대한 미국의 확장억제 공약이 핵을 포함한 모든 범주의 미국 역량으로 뒷받침된다고 거듭 강조했다”고 명시하고 “윤석열 대통령은 모든 범주의 한국 역량이 한미동맹의 연합 방위 태세에 크게 기여할 것임을 재차 강조했다”고 전했다. Regarding the approval of nuclear extended deterrence and nuclear operational guidelines,...

(7-15-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @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...
