President Park Geun-hye and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to block the North Korea's possession of neuclear weapons.

Reportedly President Park Geun-hye and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to cooperate on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula at the summit talks on June 27. “The two of us shared a common understanding that Pyongyang’s possession of nuclear weapons is unacceptable under any circumstances”, President Park said after the summit meeting. Additionally the two presidents agreed that the Korean Peninsula trust-building process will help ease tensions and bring about sustainable peace.

Chinese premier Li Keqiang also made clear that China's standard position is to denuclearize the Korean peninsula. Of course, China added, “in regard to this, both sides agree that the development of nuclear weapons by related parties is a serious threat to the peace and stability of Northeast Asia, including the Korean peninsula.





Although China seemed to avoide to directly specify North Korea, the tone of voices from the two country's leasders is higher and clearer than any other times for anti-North Korea's possession of nuclear weapons. I am not sure that the Chinese leader and President Park shared the same view that North Korean possession of nuclear weapons cannot be tolerated in any situation.



However, the atmosphere of this talks was much more progressed. Thank to the China'a special affinity for President Park, I think China opened its mind more widely to Korea. I hope it will help them solve the matter of North Korean nuclear weapon. In this context, New era for the next 20 years for two countries is expected.
