Moon arrives in NY for U.N. meeting, talks with global leaders

September 18, 2017

NEW YORK, Sept. 18 (Yonhap) — South Korean President Moon Jae-in arrived in New York on Monday for the upcoming U.N. General Assembly and talks with other global leaders that will likely focus on ways to rein in North Korea’s evolving nuclear and missile technologies.

Moon’s four-day visit here follows North Korea’s sixth and apparently most powerful nuclear test so far staged Sept. 3.

The South Korean president will attend a U.N. General Assembly meeting, set to start Tuesday, and also deliver a keynote speech to the U.N. gathering later in the week. He is also expected to hold a series of bilateral and multilateral talks with other global leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Moon, Trump and Abe are scheduled to hold a three-way summit Thursday, with North Korea’s nuclear and missile provocations expected to top the agenda of their meeting over lunch, according to Cheong Wa Dae officials.

Officials from South Korea’s presidential office Cheong Wa Dae earlier said the president is expected to call for additional pressure on the communist North so the impoverished state will have no other option but to come to the dialogue table.

“At the three-nation summit, the leaders will hold in-depth discussions on ways to strengthen the three countries’ close cooperation in dealing with the North Korean nuclear and missile issues, and enhance their cooperation with the international community,” an official said earlier.

The trilateral summit will mark the second of its kind since Moon took office in May. The first such meeting was held on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, in July.

Since Moon came into office, Pyongyang has also staged 10 missile tests.

In their phone conversation held Sunday, Moon and Trump stressed the need to thoroughly implement U.N. Security Council resolutions that have been imposed on North Korea, including the latest sanctions resolution adopted early last week to punish the communist state for its latest nuclear test.

The newest UNSC resolution froze North Korea’s oil imports at the current level while cutting its imports of refined petroleum products by half.

“The two leaders agreed to further strengthen the close cooperation between South Korea and the United States, and put more practical pressure on North Korea based on their cooperation to make North Korea realize it will only become more isolated diplomatically and face additional economic pressure if it continues to make provocations and eventually enter the path of collapse,” Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Park Soo-hyun said earlier of the phone conversation.

In addition to their three-way talks with the Japanese leader, Moon and Trump are also expected to hold a bilateral summit as they agreed to continue their discussions when they meet in New York this week.

During his four-day stay, the South Korean leader will meet with South Korean residents and expatriates in the United States.

He is also scheduled to attend a meeting with South Korean and American business leaders where he is expected to promote new business opportunities in his country, as well as bilateral economic ties between the two countries.

The new South Korean leader will attend a dinner hosted by the U.S. think tank Atlantic Council, where he will be presented with the Global Citizen Award. Moon has been named one of three award winners this year, along with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Chinese pianist Lang Lang.

“President Moon is implementing strong reform policies to resolve daunting, major issues ranging from eradicating deep-rooted problems that exist in the political and economic system to addressing the North Korean nuclear crisis and creating jobs,” the Atlantic Council said.

Moon will head back home Thursday after delivering a keynote speech at the U.N. General Assembly, in which he is widely expected to call for international efforts to rein in North Korea’s evolving nuclear and missile technologies.

    Those things are fake forged in your brains feel similar as realities in real world by ‘computers now controled by evils’. They may cause same feelings, but they do not have same effects.
    If you are in the real world ,you will know how those things are generated. But ,you are in a fake world, you can not understand those.
    The only way to go back to your lives in the real world is having killed social evils and shut down evils-controled ‘computers’.
    The so-called ‘universe’ and ‘earth as a planet’ are fake. Social evil’s intention of doing these criminals is to make people like you do harming criminals each other like evils have done . And rewards of criminals you do are fake things and artifact feelings and a bad fake life.
    Social evils can do these criminals does not mean that they have big talents. On the contrary, the ‘computers’ used by social evils doing these criminals were stolen by social evil from the previous human-being that killed by social evil.
    In the real world, there is only one truth that is the human hierarchy order. However,in fake ‘worlds’, there are a lot of so-called principles and theories, but those principles are generated by ‘evil-controled computers’. And also your fake ‘life ,abilities, every contradiction and conflict ‘ were falsely set and fixed when you were born in fake worlds by social evils used civilization that they had stolen from previous human.
