In Trump-Kim Summit Venue, A Hint Of “Thriving Partnership”

In Trump-Kim Summit Venue, A Hint Of “Thriving Partnership”

WASHINGTON: 

The choice of Vietnam as the venue for a second US-North Korea summit this month shows the possibility of moving beyond conflict and division toward a thriving partnership, the US State Department said on Thursday.

State Department spokesman Robert Palladino told a news briefing that US Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun was in Pyongyang to prepare the February 27-28 summit and seeking progress on commitments made at the first meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore in June.

These included complete denuclearization, transformation of US-North Korea relations and building a lasting peace mechanism on the Korean Peninsula, he said. Palladino reiterated that sanctions relief that North Korea has been seeking would follow its denuclearization.

He said US-Vietnamese history “reflects the possibility for peace and prosperity.”

“We moved past conflict and division towards the thriving partnership we enjoy today,” Mr Palladino said.

He gave no other details on Biegun’s talks in Pyongyang and declined to say how long he would stay there. The State Department said earlier in the week that Biegun would travel to Pyongyang for talks with his North Korean counterpart Kim Hyok Chol on Wednesday, but has not commented further.

South Korea’s Yonhap news agency earlier quoted diplomatic sources as saying that Biegun was expected to fly back to South Korea on Friday to share the outcome of his Pyongyang visit, although his stay in North Korea could be extended if additional discussions were needed.

Trump announced the plan for his second meeting Kim in his annual State of the Union address on Tuesday.

He said much work remained to be done in the push for peace with North Korea, but cited the halt in its nuclear testing and no new missile launches in 15 months as proof of progress.

Trump has been eager for a second summit despite a lack of significant moves by North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program. He and Biegun have stressed the economic benefits to North Korea if it does so.

Biegun said last week his Pyongyang talks would be aimed at mapping out “a set of concrete deliverables” for the second summit. He said Washington was willing to discuss “many actions” to improve ties and entice Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons and that Trump was ready to end the 1950-53 Korean War, which concluded with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

While in the U.S. view, North Korea has yet to take concrete steps to give up its nuclear weapons, Pyongyang complains that Washington has done little to reciprocate for its freezing of nuclear and missile testing and dismantling of some facilities.

Communist-ruled Vietnam, which has good relations with both the United States and North Korea, has been keen to host the second summit as a demonstration of its normalization of ties with the United States since the Vietnam War, which ended in 1975 and killed more than 58,000 Americans and an estimated three million Vietnamese.

The United States sustained more than 33,000 battle deaths in the Korean War, while the number of North Koreans killed, both military and civilian, has been estimated at about one million.

While Trump has hailed “tremendous progress” in his dealings with North Korea, a confidential report by UN sanctions monitors seen by Reuters this week cast further doubt on North Korea’s intentions.

It said the country’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs remained intact and North Korea was working to make sure those capabilities could not be destroyed by any military strikes.COMMENT

Palladino did not comment when asked about the report.

Former Top Court Judge Kurian Joseph Won’t Contest Lok Sabha Polls

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: 

Former Supreme Court judge Kurian Joseph on Thursday dismissed as baseless the media reports that he would be contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha polls from Kerala.

Justice Joseph, however, said he was approached by political parties.

Speaking to news agency IANS, Mr Joseph who retired from the top court last year, said he has been informally approached by people from both the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF).

“Several people have informally approached me from both the political fronts asking if I would be interested in contesting polls. From the UDF, it was the Kerala Congress (Mani) that asked my opinion. From the other front also, I was approached. But my answer to all has been I am not at all interested,” he said.

Interestingly, both the fronts are in search of suitable candidates for the Lok Sabha polls, which is just few months away.

Mr Joseph, 65, was in the news when he along with three of his colleagues, in January 2018, addressed a press conference against then Chief Justice Dipak Misra.

Mr Joseph, in his student days, was active in politics. In 1996, he was designated a senior advocate and in 2000 appointed judge of the Kerala High Court.COMMENT

In February 2010, he was made the Chief Justice of Himachal Pradesh High Court. On March 8, 2013, he became a judge of Supreme Court.

Srinagar, Feb 7:  Hurriyat Conference (M) has paid tributes to an armed youth Irfan Ahmed Sheikh who was killed in a gunfight with government forces at Chakoora village of south Kashmir’s Pulwama and the 13-year-old Junaid Bilal of the same district who died after receiving serious injuries in an accidental grenade blast and was battling for life at SKIMS Soura.

Due to the lingering Kashmir dispute, Kashmiris are shouldering the coffins of their loved ones every day, a Hurriyat (M) spokesperson said in a statement.

He said that funerals of young boys have become a routine affair in Kashmir and since past 70 years particularly the last three decades, “more than one lakh” people fell to the Kashmir dispute. It is because of New Delhi’s “stubborn approach” that Kashmir continues to witness bloodshed, he said.

The spokesperson said that the Government of India (GoI) must shun its “rigid approach” and take concrete steps to resolve the vexed issue of Kashmir for the everlasting peace in the region.

He also urged the world community to use their good offices for the long-lasting resolution of Kashmir issue so that the bloodbath and miseries inflicted in Kashmir would end.
