Up next... we take... a moment... now... to share... a few words... with a pundit
here... regarding... President Yoon's IN-PERSON DIPLOMATIC DEBUT... at NATO.
For more... I have Professor LIM Eun-jung ... at Kongju National University... LIVE on the LINE.
Professor LIM... it's good... to have you... with us.
1) Professor Lim... aside from DENOUNCING Russia's atrocities... in Ukraine... NATO leaders...
for the first time... voiced concerns... about the challenges... posed by China.
How do you explain... this stance... by NATO?
2) Professor Lim... during his speech... at the NATO summit... President Yoon Suk-yeol warned...
about the "threat to universal values... at time of new conflict and competition."
Generally speaking... what are your thoughts... regarding Yoon's address... over in Madrid?
3) Professor Lim... the South Korean leader
also called on... NATO... for a CONCERTED EFFORT... against North Korea's missile and
nuclear weapons ambitions. How do you assess...
Yoon's pro-active policy... with regard to... denuclearization of the Korean peninsula?
4) Staying with regional security concerns... Professor Lim... trilateral talks... among
leaders... of Seoul... Washington and Tokyo... over in Madrid... took place...
for the first time... in almost five years. How do you envision... future trilateral
ties... as well as... bilateral ties... between Seoul and Tokyo?
5) Professor Lim... along with South Korea and Japan... Australia and New Zealand were
ALSO invited... to the NATO summit. Do you suppose... this attempt... by
NATO... to reach out... to its democratic allies... here in this part of the world...
ultimately PITS... this bloc... against China and Russia... perhaps... under the BRICS framework?
And if so... surely... this division is NOT IDEAL... in terms of global
stability and security. What do you say?
All right
