We have Professor Robert Kelly joining us via Skype to try and review and dissect some
of the issues touched on during yesterday's marathon session -- an hour-and-a-half-long
speech and press conference by the president.
Thanks for having me.
First of all, President Park expressed confidence in Korea's alliance with the U.S. when it
comes to dealing with North Korea.
Can this partnership bring out some positive coordination in the same direction from China
as well?
The question at the tip of many reporters' tongues during the Q&A session was obviously
the landmark agreement with Japan on the wartime sexual enslavement issue.
It was explained in detail that this was the best possible outcome.
How do
you view
this deal?
The continued jam in terms of passing bills and moving on.
We seem to keep hearing the same thing from the opposite sides of the aisle,... with the
president urging quick passage and the main opposition constantly against them.
Do you have any advice on eliminating the factors causing the constant friction, and
moving on?
