First Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs "Keeping an eye on trends in the U.S.-China-Russia summit...possibility of discussions on the Korean Peninsula"

First Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Yun-joo said that she is closely watching trends regarding the possibility of a trilateral summit between the US, China, and Russia following the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit next week.

At the general meeting of the National Assembly Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee on the 12th, when Park Seong-joon, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, asked about changes in the international situation following the US-China-Russia summit, Vice Minister Park said, “We are closely watching the progress of the US, China, and Russia.”

He added, “This is especially because we cannot rule out the possibility that the Korean Peninsula issue will also be discussed.”

Vice Minister Park responded to Rep. Park's point that North Korea's ransom has increased since the Russia-Ukraine War, saying, "North Korea is in a very strategically advantageous position."
