I thank their excellencies, Cho Tae-yul for agreeing to attend these preliminary talks for the restoration of harmonious and normal relations on the Korean peninsula. I am furthermore grateful to his excellency Liu Jieyi for providing the good offices required to facilitate these conversations. My government sincerely hopes that these discussions will lead to a permanent understanding between our governments concerning Korean affairs.

The docket shared with your United Nations delegations involved several topics that we collectively wished to discuss, including:


  • A mutual North-South proposal for the next Six Party Talks
  • A visit for the heads of government of both countries


And, later:


  • A Chinese-assisted security structure to maintain peace on the peninsula
  • Mutual conventional disarmament
  • Groundwork for a one country, two systems unification plan


I believe it will be beneficial to divide the topics into the first two, which we can organize during this conference, while our two Presidents can handle the latter three topics which are more long-term and involve serious action.

There are two action items which my government thinks will be easy for both of our governments to agree to off the bat, with the Six Party Talks business being more complicated. These two items are arranging a special visit of President Moon and Marshal Kim Yong-chol to each others' countries, and committing to remove one army group each from the border to re-deploy elsewhere in the country. One army group will not significantly harm defense, but will convince civilians to have faith and confidence in the negotiations nad buoy support for the Sunshine policy both in the North and the South.

The more complicated business will be the Six Party talks. As shown by the last talk when the USA walked out before the Republic of Korea could even make an opening statement, we will need a joint proposal to keep the interest of certain parties who have no stake in or desire to see Korean unification. We believe that the shorter we can keep the talks, the more likely the foreign powers will accept it. Because of this and an increase in stability in our own government, we are now in a position to accept the previous Japanese proposal, which was the following:

Quote:
 
Upon successful completion of each step beginning with the disposal of its plutonium and highly enriched uranium, the North Korean government would receive $500 million from each other party in the talks for a total of $2.5 billion per step, or $10 billion for the entire process of nuclear and long-range missile disarmament. A similar process would occur for disposal of North Korea's chemical and biological weapons and destruction of facilities producing them, with North Korea unlocking $2.5 billion with each step, for a total of $10 billion. All disarmament processes would be enforced by Sino-Russian forces, overseen by the United Nations. Upon successful completion of both processes and a certification by all parties, North Korea would unlock a commitment for a further $30 billion in aid to be provided over a 10 year period, with South Korea providing $2 billion, China providing $1 billion, and Japan, the United States, and Russia providing $670 million each. It will be permissible for parties to deliver their aid in forms including resources, machinery, consumer goods, or direct payment. All aid will be subject to a special United Nations accountability organ, that will simply confirm that the aid is heading towards genuine economic projects. All parties will further commit to providing $50 billion in investments over a 10 year period, whose form is to be decided by the party's government.

North Korea will be able to unlock a third round of aid if it signs a protocol with South Korea for mutual conventional disarmament over a period of 10 years. The following terms would apply to both parties, and would earn North Korea a further $20 billion in direct foreign development assistance and $30 billion in mandatory investments.

Conventional Disarmament
- Total amount of people in the armed forces capped at 2.5 million, including reserves;
- Total number of Army personnel capped at 2.3 million;
- Total number of conventional artillery pieces capped at 7,500;
- Total number of rocket artillery pieces capped at 1,000;
- Total number of tanks capped at 2,000;
- Total number of aircraft in air force capped at 800;
- Total number of ships in the navy capped at 150;

Japan would be amenable to providing further assistance and investment to the North Korean regime, but this would depend on the progress of human rights in the country and the curbing of the totalitarian state.


If this would be agreeable to your government as well, we suggest that we open a new round of Six Party talks in a neutral mediator country and speed up proceedings by putting forward that proposal.

We look forward to highly productive talks and would like to open the floor.

We thank Minister Ri for starting these talks. We hope we can this can be the start of something positive. Our door is always open. We believe that a fresh round of the Six Patry talks would be a good place to start. We believe that we could resume these talks in Geneva Switzerland later this month.

A visit by both heads of governments would come after the resumption of talks. The South Korean government has given me the task of leading any future talks, as well as my capacity of Ambassador to the United Nations. Whilst we are concerned about future launches and illegal shipments to North Korea. We believe these should cease before talks start.

I yield the floor.

This is a good idea and we hope invitations can be sent in due time. Would you also consider a neutral capital such as Berlin, Riyadh, or Beijing in the event that Switzerland refuses to host? We would wish to propose an alternative Seven Party talk involving the EU as well, where the agreement could be hosted in Paris, with the EU as a participant party.

The DPRK has not done a missile test for over a year at the moment, and we have no issue with continuing that policy. As for illegal shipments, there is no evidence these shipments are continuing according to the United Nations sanctions control regime, as all nations which have submitted a sanctions compliance report on the DPRK state that they are rigorously enforcing sanctions. In any case, if said shipments are occuring - which has been alleged for decades - they would be the minimum required to keep the people of the DPRK fed and avert imminent war and collapse.

To build popular faith in this process both in the North and South, would you agree to the movement of 1-2 divisions from both countries away from the DMZ? This does not represent a sizable contingent compared to the overall force strength of both countries, but would be an important symbolic move to persuade our publics.

Finally, would President Moon be ready to conduct a tour of the North and invite Marshal Kim to tour the South once the Six Party Talks commence? It is important that our governments make clear that President Moon was instrumental in the creation of this policy to increase his support, and support for his party's Sunshine Policy. We are certain that even if Six Party Talks fail for some unforeseeable reason, in spite of the fact that we are now stable enough to accept the Western offer, that these symbolic measures will lay the groundwork for future negotiations and build the necessary good will.

We are willing to go to any neutral city. Paris, Berlin or London will be fine to us. As a sign of progress we will remove 2 divisions if North Korea does the same.

I have personally spoken to President Moon and he will gladly visit the North and for Marshal Kim to visit the South.

We hope that agreeing to these points we can commence fruitful talks.

I yield the floor.

Excellent news, we fully agree to the movement of troops and will be carrying this out shortly. As for the visits, we intend to open secondary talks ((telepresence thread)) and visit various landmarks in both countries. In the South, we intend to visit Chung Ju yung memorial, teh HQs of several state of the art companies, tombs of Southern Presidents, the national assembly, and Seoul National University. In the North, we would suggest a visit to the historic city of Kaesong, ancient capital of Korea, and the Supreme People's Assembly in Pyongyang. We propose that we begin continuation talks after the historic trip in the DMZ, if this would be acceptable.

Minister Ri,

President Moon has given the order to withdraw two divisions from our side of the Demilitarized Zone, and should see the divisions returning to their home garrisons in the coming weeks as they demobilize away from the DMZ. The chosen sites are acceptable to President Moon & the State Council.
We will forego the aforementioned weapons shipments at this time in the spirit of cooperation so that high-level talks between our two governments can carry on.

This is excellent news and we thank you for your greture in tandem to ours. Soon we hope to see the Korean peoples once again unified in spirit and mind for the defense of our peninsula and our motherland.

We will extend formal diplomatic requests to China to host a new round of Six Party Talks, if your government is amenable to hosting them in Beijing.

Would your foreign ministry be amenable to putting together the travel plans for the visits of our heads of government? This should allow you to avoid bowing before certain statues which it would not be politically acceptable among some Southern constituents for a President to bow before, if you understand our meaning.
