Wu Dawei, head of the six-party talks, visited South Korea to talk about the North Korean nuclear program and reiterated the “Sade” position
[Observer network comprehensive report] Recently, the United States launched 59 “omahawk” missiles to strike Syria unilaterally, and once again deployed the “Carl Vinson” aircraft carrier battle group in the waters near the Korean Peninsula, secretary of State Tillerson also said publicly that the US attack on Syria was a warning to North Korea. But on the other hand, North Korea said publicly that “it will not be frightened by the US air strikes on Syria” and condemned this “obvious and unforgivable aggression against a sovereign country”.
At this moment when the atmosphere on the peninsula became more and more tense, on the afternoon of April 10, Wu Dawei, the Chinese head of the six-party talks, the special representative of the Chinese government for Korean Peninsula affairs, and Yin Bingshi, the foreign minister of South Korea, as well as the six-party talks on North Korea’s nuclear issue, South Korea’s chief envoy Kim Tok met to discuss a series of issues such as China-South Korea relations and the response to North Korea’s nuclear crisis. This is the meeting between China and South Korea’s “six-party talks” negotiating delegation and the meeting in Beijing. It is also the Chinese leader who visited South Korea again after more than a year.
On April 9, the US Navy Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group was deployed to the Korean Peninsula to deter North Korea.
According to a report by Yonhap news agency on the 10th, Wu Dawei only greeted the reporter at the scene and did not answer questions. After Wu Dawei meets with Yin Bingshi, he will meet and have dinner with Kim Dianjun, South Korea’s chief envoy of the six-party talks, to discuss how to deal with North Korea’s nuclear threat.
According to the report of Taiwan’s “Central News Agency”, Jin Chuanjun talked with visiting Wu Dawei at about 4 pm on the 10th. On the North Korean nuclear issue, South Korea advocates sanctions and pressure, while China advocates a dialogue settlement. As for the deployment of Sade in South Korea, there are still serious differences of opinion between South Korea and China.

According to the report, both Kim and Wu Dawei reached a consensus that if North Korea conducts nuclear tests or tests intercontinental ballistic missiles, it will take strong sanctions against North Korea in accordance with Security Council resolutions.
However, Kim Tok admitted frankly that Wu Dawei still reiterated his established position against South Korea’s deployment of THAAD (THAAD), and the differences between the two countries on “THAAD” still exist.
Reuters reported that Wu Dawei’s visit to South Korea may focus on North Korea’s nuclear threat. It is reported that North Korea may be ready to conduct the sixth nuclear test at any time, and the satellite has detected the activities of the GF Xili nuclear test site. On 15th day of this month, Kim Il Sung’s birthday and 11th, the Supreme People’s Conference of North Korea will be held, which are all dates of great significance to North Korea and are usually the nodes for testing important military weapons.

After the US air strikes on Syria last week, the possibility of the US military responding to such weapons tests by North Korea has increased. U.S. Secretary of State Tillerson’s speech in the latest public television program further raised the expectation of U.S. unilateral use of force.
U.S. Secretary of State Tillerson said earlier that the attack launched by the U.S. military on Syria because it was accused of using chemical weapons was also warning other countries including North Korea that if they posed a danger, the United States is likely to respond.
The US Navy’s “Carl Vinson” aircraft carrier battle group canceled the plan to sail to Australia and turned to the Western Pacific waters near the Korean Peninsula to show military power. An American official said that the United States believes it is necessary to strengthen its strength. South Korea and the United States are still holding annual joint military exercises, which will last until the end of April. North Korea said the US-South Korea military exercise was to prepare for the war against the country.
However, although the United States constantly warned North Korea orally and “brightened the muscles”, its two most important Asian allies did not seem to think that the possibility of doing it was very high. Japan played down the possibility of us taking military action, while South Korea said that it still focused on scaring and preparing for war.
South Korean Unification Ministry spokesman Li Dexing said at a regular press conference on the 10th that “Don’t worry too much” the United States would attack North Korea first.
