“If they would have a conversation with us ... arms control can always be an option if you have two willing countries willing to sit down at the table and talk. And not just arms control, but risk reduction - everything that leads up to a traditional arms-control treaty and all the different aspects of arms control that we can have with them. We've made it very clear to the DPRK ... that we're ready to talk to them - we have no pre-conditions.”

“If we consider the lessons learned from Hanoi, one possible lesson Kim Jong-un may have taken from the experience is that from his perspective, the United States did not take sufficiently seriously the idea that the North was negotiating from a position of strength. North Korea is asserting that its laws make denuclearization negotiations a non-starter. As a result, it is hard to imagine how the United States and North Korea will be able to frame a diplomatic negotiation process around a set of commonly held objectives. A logical course of action would be to further strengthen the North's military program so that its nuclear capabilities would be regarded as undeniable and irreversible. Once North Korea's Kim believes he has adequately achieved those objectives, he might in principle then be ready to return to diplomatic negotiations with the United States, but from an even stronger position than the North's Kim was in when he met with Trump in Hanoi in February of 2019.”

“The North Korean nuclear issue was already low on Biden's agenda as the Kim regime has remained unresponsive to U.S. calls to return to the negotiating table. The only way to bring North Korea back to the bargaining table is by the U.S. making concessions to the North, which is not going to happen in consideration of the current U.S. stance. Due to these reasons, the North Korea issue has been pushed back on the priority list.”

“For a few years now they've [North Korea] demanded to be treated by the United States as an equal and see the development of ever-more-advanced nuclear and missile capabilities as one way to earn that respect.”

“We call on the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] to cease these provocations and other destabilising activities, and instead, engage in dialogue. We remain ready to meet with the DPRK without preconditions and we have made clear that the United States harbours no hostile intent towards the DPRK.”

“I think that it is one of the issues under discussion among the parties involved in the North Korea issue. The Moon government is openly pressing for an end of war declaration, including the President himself and the ministers of foreign affairs and unification. And it would be an important political move if it happens. North Korea has realized that it has to address U.S.-North Korea and inter-Korean relations in parallel now that Biden is U.S. president. It has also realized that it has to address political relations with the U.S., inter-Korean reconciliation, nuclear issues and possible economic assistance in parallel. This wasn't the case during the Trump years, but it is under Biden.”

“We are prepared to work cooperatively with the DPRK to address areas of humanitarian concerns regardless of progress on denuclearization. The United States supports the provision of humanitarian aid, consistent with international standards, for access and monitoring to the most vulnerable North Koreans.”

“Currently, the North Korea issue is invisible on the agenda of the Biden administration. As a result, the impatient Kim Jong-un said, in June [2021], that he was ready for both dialogue and confrontation with the U.S.; however this was all to no avail. In that respect, the North is now pressuring the South to do something. If the U.S. negligence of the North continues, the Kim Jong-un regime may opt for military action.”

“We are looking forward to a reliable, predictable, constructive way forward with the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea]. As the first vice foreign minister [South Korea's First Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-kun] noted, we have offered to sit and dialogue with the North Koreans, and we're waiting to hear from them. And as he also has said, we all feel for the people of the DPRK, who are indeed, facing all the most difficult circumstances given the pandemic, and what it means as well for their food security. We only hope for a better outcome for the people of the DPRK.”

“The ROK-US alliance will be solidified through the bilateral summit... We will restore dialogue between the two Koreas and between the United States and North Korea and find a way to step once again toward peaceful cooperation by more closely coordinating policies toward North Korea. I will not be pressed by time or become impatient during the remainder of my term. I look forward to North Korea responding positively.”

“The president has been very clear that he wants diplomats in the lead and we are supportive of that here at the Defense Department. But North Korea's continued development of ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction represents a threat to U.S. interest and security of our allies and partners. In the near time, we are going to work in close coordination with our allies and partners to seek to deter negative behavior from North Korea. That also means that working closely with our South Korean ally on making sure that our two militaries have the capability and readiness to defend our interests on the peninsula.”

“What they want to tell the US is we’re developing the new strategic weapons that you can see as the most intimidating. Do you want to come to the negotiating table? While Kim leaves the door open for talks, he’s still sending a message to Biden that he’s not an easy [dialogue] partner.”

“The reason the North Korea nuclear negotiations have been dragging on for nearly 30 years is because the U.S. and North Korea are not truly reconciling and do not trust each other. As noted in the Singapore Agreement, we understand that the denuclearization negotiations need to proceed in a way that ensures North Korea ends its nuclear program in exchange for security guarantees. It is desirable for the U.S. and North Korea to conclude a comprehensive agreement on denuclearization and for the implementation of this agreement to take place in a gradual, simultaneous, and parallel manner so that the two sides can build trust.”

“Is it possible to hold dialogue or have any dealings with the US which persists in the hostile policy towards the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] in disregard of the agreements already made at the past summit? We do not feel any need to sit face-to-face with the US, as it does not consider the DPRK-US dialogue as nothing more than a tool for grappling its political crisis. The US is mistaken if it thinks things like negotiations would still work on us.”
