(Global Times, 4/12/2019) During First Session of the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly, Kim Jong-un said he is willing to meet the US president again on certain conditions. Kim was re-elected as chairman of the DPRK’s State Affairs Commission (SAC).
“If the United States adopts a correct posture and comes to the third DPRK-US summit with a certain methodology that can be shared with us, we can think of holding one more (round of) talks,” Kim said. “It is necessary for both sides not to table their unilateral demands but find out a constructive solution to meet each other’s interests.”
In his speech, Kim blamed the failure of his talks with Son John on the US United States for only considering its own interests. This has led the DPRK to question Trump’s willingness to improve relations with the DPRK. Kim refused to accept “the American style of dialogue” which imposes the United States’ unilateral demands upon its dialogue partner. As President Trump keeps saying, the personal ties between me and him are not hostile like the relations between the two countries and we still maintain good relations.”
