Secretary of State Blincoln spoke of North Korea at the UN disarmament conference.

While urging Iran to comply with the nuclear agreement, he said it is also focusing on the denuclearization of North Korea.

They are struggling to solve Pyongyang’s illegal weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs.

He stressed that he would work closely with allies.

[토니 블링컨 / 미국 국무장관 : 미국은 또 북한의 비핵화에 초점을 맞추고 있습니다. 평양의 불법 대량살상무기와 탄도미사일 프로그램을 해결하기 위해 동맹국과 파트너들과 긴밀히 협력할 것입니다.]

The State Department previously said on the 12th that the North Korean issue is an urgent priority.

He explained that the alliance and coordination were very active.

However, the Biden administration’s strategy toward North Korea is still prudent.

Accordingly, analysis is being made that the ROK-US combined military exercises scheduled for next month will be the first step in the fight between North America.

The US Department of Defense explained that the training will be decided by USFK Commander Robert Abrams in consultation with the ROK forces.

[존 커비 / 미국 국방부 대변인 : 에이브럼스 장군은 그런 책임을 이해하고 있으며 한국의 카운트파트들과 협력하고 있습니다. 준비태세가 유지되고 훈련이 수행되도록 하는 것과 동맹이 그 어느 때보다도 강하다는 것을 확신하고 있습니다.]

He emphasized that the Korean Peninsula maintains a considerable level of readiness and that the alliance is stronger than ever.
