Speech title: The Importance of Dialogue between the United States and North Korea: How can the United States respond to the nuclear issue with North Korea?
Abstract
The nuclear issue with North Korea could create even more danger in currently tense international relations. In reality, a long-standing economic sanction is a factor in North Korea's continued hostile attitude toward the United States. The Trump administration chose negotiation instead of economic sanctions. Negotiations succeeded in temporarily easing tensions between the United States and North Korea. However, the Biden administration put economic sanctions back on North Korea. Since then, North Korea has increasingly cultivated hostility, even more than in the last few years, and is further developing nuclearization. As this example indicates, economic sanctions would have negative consequences. The United States needs negotiations and dialogue with North Korea to resolve the issue of nuclear conflict peacefully. There is an issue to face: what is concretely the peaceful negotiation for persuading North Korea instead of economic sanctions? An interesting point is that the "5th UN Office Project" could bring about the possibility of progress. This project aims to convert the demilitarized zone into a peace zone under the authority of the United Nations. Although a realistic situation is not yet likely to materialize for this project, it has the potential to be an alternative solution instead of an economic sanction.
