Post-inter-Korean summit

President Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un pointed out that the successor to North Korea`s successor is "a detailed strategy, In particular, the declaration of the end of the war, and the signing of a peace treaty, it is pointed out that it is important to pay attention to detail.

As Moon said in a luncheon meeting on April 18, "It is the biggest challenge to overcome the demon of detail," Moon said, "We need to implement elaborate strategies in order to solve the problems like `higher order equations.` This is because it is expected to be slow or stagnant depending on whether the war between the US and North Korea is based on a "war on terrorism" or a compromise between China and neighboring countries.

Experts point out that depending on how to formulate an external strategy to conclude a peace treaty, it will have a major impact on establishing a permanent peace regime on the Korean peninsula. Relay talks are expected between the heads of the parties to the Korean peninsula, such as Korea, Japan, Korea, China, and Japan. Experts advise the two Koreas to explain the results of the inter-Korean summit through bilateral or shuttle talks and to expand common understanding and agreement through multilateral coordination.

The meeting is expected to be held in mid-May, but it will likely be coordinated if President Donald Trump approves the US-North Korea talks. The talks between Korea and China will be held in early May. The timing of the summit will be determined by the timing and results of the US-North Korea talks. The talks between the two Koreas are likely to take place in July, and the Korean-North Korean summit will likely be held in the meantime.

The Sejong Institute expects the six-party talks to be held in August, through bilateral and multilateral shuttle diplomacy, for the conclusion of a peace treaty and for denuclearization.

The four-party system or the "2 + 2" system will be discussed as a way to conclude a peace agreement. It is the way in which the South, the North, and the United States sign a peace agreement as a joint party and the South and the North take the form of a peace treaty and the United States confirms and guarantees. Experts proposed a `1 + 3` approach to the peace process, including a peace treaty and an annexed agreement. A memorandum of understanding to establish the peace of the Korean peninsula by the two Koreas, consisting of articles and texts, a memorandum of understanding to conclude the ending of the armistice agreement with North Korea, China and the United States, a guarantee on the management and operation of the peace agreement on the Korean peninsula, It is the opinion that it is the most rational to be accomplished through the agreement on the normalization of relations and the roadmap of the peace regime.

It also suggested that the parties could review the "peace declaration" to build a peace regime. Jang Chang-soo, head of Sejong Institute, said, "We can agree on the principle of building a peace regime between the parties concerned on the Korean peninsula and review the" peace declaration "as a starting point for this. If the declaration is not enough and it is possible that a way of expressing it is possible."

Experts also pointed out that military tensions between the two Koreas and building trust between the two Koreas were the prerequisites for the declaration of war and the establishment of a peace regime. The Panmunjom Declaration includes the following: ¡â All-out hostile acts cease, ¡â From May 1, suspension of broadcasting and shearing of loudspeakers and removal of Sudan, ¡â formation of peace zone in the West Sea North Limit Line (NLL) Military tensions on the Korean peninsula, "reaffirming the North-South inviolability agreement, and realizing gradual disarmament. The coordination between the two Koreas for the establishment of a peace regime is expected to proceed without any major disruption if the US - North Korea summit is successfully achieved.
