朝鲜外交攻势及其挑战

The DPRK’s Diplomatic Initiative and Its Challenges

以积极参加2月平昌冬奥会为契机,朝鲜发起了一波凌厉的外交攻势：3月朝鲜劳动党委员长金正恩访华,4月举行朝韩峰会,朝美还宣布要在6月初举行峰会。特别是在核问题上,金正恩先是在访华期间确认了致力于实现半岛无核化是朝方始终不变的立场,劳动党七届三中全会宣布中止核试验和洲际弹道导弹试射、废弃北部核试验场,后又与韩国总统文在寅确认通过完全无核化实现无核的半岛之共同目标。朝方系列外交行动出人意料,究其缘由,既有内因,也有外因。为维系并深化当前来之不易的和平局面,使之真正成为新历史的起点,朝方显然还面临诸多挑战,特别是在核问题上还有很多工作要做。

Taking an active part in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics as an opportunity,the DPRK launched a wave of diplomatic initiatives.Kim Jong-un visited China,met with President of the Republic of Korea(ROK)Moon Jae-in in April,and will meet with the US President Donald Trump in June.The Third Plenary Meeting of the Seventh Central Committee of WPK announced that the DPRK will discontinue nuclear tests and intercontinental ballistic rocket test-fire from April 21,the northern nuclear test ground of the DPRK will be dismantled to transparently guarantee the discontinuance of nuclear tests;and confirmed the common goal of making the Korean peninsula nuclear-free via complete denuclearization with Moon Jae-in.The DPRK’s series of diplomatic actions are unexpected.In order to maintain and deepen the current hard-won peace,the DPRK is obviously facing many challenges and has a lot of work to do on the nuclear issue.
