Return of the Foreign Ministry: Choe Son Hui’s Message to the US
38north.org/2021/03/return…
The channel for interaction with Washington once again will be DPRK’s Foreign Ministry, and that means dealing w/ a very cool lady: seasoned high-ranking diplomat Ms Choe Son Hui. Image
2/“First Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui issued a statement on March 18 focusing on the current state of US-DPRK relations…Choe’s comments suggests, first and foremost, that the Foreign Ministry is preparing to become the channel for interaction with Washington once again…
3/"The key formulations are laden with qualifiers that reinforce that point. A few examples that indicate the game is only beginning include (note in all case, emphasis is added):
▪“We have already declared our stand that no DPRK-U.S. contact and dialogue of any kind can be

So the North Korea Policy Review is complete, but it's classified, so we, and Pyongyang, can only guess what it is? And now the Biden Admin is waiting on DPRK to see if they're willing to engage? Is that "diplomacy"? Not quite. It's less "real" than the fictional plot of "The
2/Americans":
3/Who did the Biden Admin consult with besides past admin officials? US intel? CIA? US military? I bet they think DPRK is a really tough "nut to crack". How can anyone know anything about the "closed society" of the "hermit kingdom" presided over by a "ruthless dictator" who

“Hopefully, the administration will build on the diplomatic progress made over the past four years instead of jettisoning everything from the Trump years — but come up with a long-term strategy that takes all stakeholders in the region into account.”

2/"Though it is not clear what “something” each side would offer, there are many options. 

During Trump’s outreach to Kim, U.S. officials reportedly considered declaring a formal end to the Korean War, a symbolic step that would signal a less pressure-focused approach. Both

U.S. officials could also try to formalize North Korea’s pause on nuclear and long-range missile tests. Or they could attempt to work out a more extensive interim deal to limit North Korea’s

Hello. Biden Admin's North Korea Policy Review is done but it HASN'T BEEN REVEALED right? Pyongyang is freaking out, misreading the tea leaves. If Biden is serious about a new "phased approach" building on Singapore, REVEAL THE POLICY!!!
2/Get the lead out!!

I've already critiqued what I've gleaned from Jen Psaki's comments and this WP piece 👇and found Biden's NK Policy Review deserving of a B. Don't make me change my grade.😉 You, uh, ARE going to tell America & world what it is, right?
3/Pyongyang obviously didn't catch the Washington Post piece (which I presume is accurate). So they don't know that Biden is focussed on "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" and wants to build on Singapore. I believe they can work w/ that - But not before you tell them!!
