the gruesome plot thickens the saudis now admit he died in their custody after an interrogation that went wrong turkish media claim they have evidence of intentional murder nonetheless trump declares he's not going to walk away from saudi arabia will there ever be justice for jamal. welcome to cohen sophie shevardnadze as the second meeting between the leaders of the u.s. and north korea is on the horizon questions remain while north korea give up its

nuclear weapons for good or are we going to thrust another round of tension my guests today is jay young believe president of the korea and situates for the international economic policy. there's light at the end of the tunnel for the korean peninsula the threat of imminent war has passed for know with the north and south leaders shaking hands and planning meetings with the american president. and bring about a career without nuclear weapons. peace overtures and sudden about face trustworthy so what can the rest of the world do to help begins the catastrophic conflict is spreading this year lee thank you for being with us today delighted to have you. so recently the north korean leader wrote a warm letter to president trump and now we see that a second meeting may be on the cards just can we expect any tangible results from it and i never know. what there might be a new summit between donald trump. and seems that this time it will be

a more productive meeting and we can expect a tangible results of course their views on the denuclearization of north korea are somewhat different at this point. with the nuclearization first got there while north korea thinks that we need to end the war and then move forward i think that those leaders are choosing the peaceful path and if that is the case they will breach a solution to the nuclear problem up and i am hopeful that will happen at that was at the. e.c. not too long ago seriously ask people on american t.v. if the u.s. should bomb north korea and so they really were on the brink of war and now they're about to meet for the second time does it mean that the worst is over what do you think. that is the. last year everybody was concerned but i don't know war on the korean peninsula was inevitable but now the situation has changed

drastically there is movement towards peace last year but that wouldn't have even dreamed about this of course this will take time but i think so gradually both the united states and north korea the nuclear problem on the korean peninsula. what was our present trunk acted towards north korean leader when he wrote mean things on twitter called him names sent out and then we called and now america and north korea have unprecedented only a translation national trust was behaving this way he was criticized for acting with such recklessness but now i guess it turns out that he did everything right still feel probably in. well things have stabilized to degree witty and i think these are wise choices that people have made at the maybe it was trickle where the trump played in order to make north korea participate in dialogue but the situation in north korea has changed as well its current leader kim jong un is like

a young gorbachev his vision is different from the ideas of he's predecessors americans think that the soviet union fell because of u.s. sanctions but it is not true and we see the same situation now in north korea americans think that sanctions against north korea are forcing the koreans to talk but it is only one of the factors that now the situation in north korea it will be is a little different it's opened up with kim jong un has a different vision now and he's ready for disarmament rather is it. i you know i i think i think that maybe he just outsmarted everyone for us he's scared to world with nuclear weapons presenting the worst case scenario and he's capitalizing on that saying ok i will not make nuclear weapons let's be friends. compared to the united states and other countries north korea is a small states but here is that they cannot fool the whole world if they deceived

or fooled the world then we cannot expect anything good to come out of that then move i think they understand this and unlike previous leaders of his country or. once a different result out there and that inspires hope. right now trump and the north korean leader are exchanging pleasantries but the south korean leader is also doing his part to any relations between south and north koreas are getting better what can we expect from this policy. was there you know. administration in south korea is trying and will continue to try to engage north korea in dialogue even before the first united states north korea some mental we were doing something to ensure that summit would actually take place and now korea is playing a major role as well it is the connecting the bridge organism important for the united states and north korea to come to an understanding right and our government

is playing a very important role bringing those two together but it's this is how the current administration is different and we're all seeing it's positive results. yet only one can remember when the next round of harsh sanctions against north korea was being discussed president clinton said that sanctions don't work especially in the case of north korea because its people are not scared of difficult this song but why is north korea making concessions now we see in the rhetorics they say that they are ready for it to nuclearization all right we're ready to give up nuclear weapons. in reality sanctions against north korea is just one factor played a part in the current state of things. like we're north korea decided to talk to the united states and south korea at the north korean became a state also that sanctions were immediately imposed from day one of its existence it is an important factor but it is not the only one. but when the situation got

really dicey at the end of last year and it felt like war was inevitable things suddenly began to change south korea never stopped trying to talk to the north and the people in chiang olympics allowed us to make significant progress so it was a good excuse and a good opportunity to sit down together thoughts and most of the bits and both countries came to an understanding during the storks which is north koreans also did not once and mrs chance to talk to us and then after the talks south korea's signals to the united states to china to russia and japan bits that there was progress to be made and that north korea was really in dialogue. and now we all see progress which means that it wasn't just the sanctions that made a difference korean leader kim jong un was educated in the west and he understands what is really important now for his country and the important thing is to be able

to feed the nation by just going to the impossible without dialogue and nuclear disarmament north korea understands that it will not prosper without peace that's for sure. not sure anything about keeping the regime alive it was obvious to everybody that everyone said the north korean leader needs nuclear weapons to prop up the current regime it's the guarantee of his safety in the regime and he's saying again those are just words for now but he is willing to give up nuclear weapons does this mean that he has some other guarantees stronger. nuclear weapons. you know when you are starving but you have nuclear weapons that is a road to nowhere and it could spell doom for north korea first and foremost so current leader kim jong un is young she studied abroad in a western country and he understands western culture at that if you give up nuclear

weapons you can develop your country and your economy and i think this is what he's thinking i hope but nobody might that but he needs guarantees that no one will interfere in his country's affairs with that and if the international community and countries like the united states russia china and japan provide such guarantees it is entirely possible that north korea will do nuclear rise and i. just need guarantees from the countries that he has some kind of trust him. because business as such him see why i would say will make close relations with north korea that it has today what is the aim of his policy and what about north korea why would they need to grow closer now missing in this. as you know korea peace and prosperity. similarly that's a very diplomatic answer let me ask in a different way what is more afraid of north korea nuclear missiles or a war in order to destroy a north korean nuclear missile what are you more afraid of being. chilled wait bush

. after the korean war koreans have always felt threatened. on the one hand everyone is used to that but on the other hand everyone holds that an actual war is out of the question being at this but no less important maybe the most important thing even more is the economic aspect economy just about from a humanitarian points if you have the same period being divided in two parts in the north and south of course it's a terrible thing so it's about our economic really speaking it is. so much worse. is stagnating now. young people have to feed the elderly and they need to make more money out of egypt so we need new opportunities and. our economy would be great if such opportunities opened up the sky thanks to north korea ploy or asian markets more including russia diversify our economy based on the peace and prosperity of

the korean peninsula and strengthen our size with india with the so-called southern regions this is very important to us that is why our current government and our people want to peaceful resolution to the nuclear problem and closer ties with north korea. do you think trump might be expected to make some concessions and. actions. expect something like that to happen. well it's already happening the u.s. military has suspended military exercises with south korea but then with the seven o'clock did it because north korea stopped the nuclear testing at the end started to dismantle some of its missile launch sites up with that the best deal and then came the mutual concessions these are the positive results of the u.s. north korea summit but it will take not one not take five six seven summits to

ensure we do not go back to the way things work. on this that short break right now while we're back we'll continue talking to jane young plea president for the korean state of the international economic policy stay with us. what politicians to do something to do. they put themselves on the line they did accept it or reject it. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to. let you go right to the press this is like the full story of the boy can't

be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should all. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent from i just want to shift your home with. one hundred five hundred three per circuit for sure and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember it was one business show you know for a minute one can only blame but. i'm

your own pal dot com. the time john paul enough. to know more i. think. in some plan there is a trade in young girls sold into an underground sex in the street sometimes by the people they trust the most. so.

now we're back with j. young leave present for the korean sit ups the international economic policy and mr lee of combat right what well do you think russia could play in this in so what to russia to to normalize to situations in you know civil. you know this status quo we have in terms of north korea's the nuclearization stems from the differences between the united states and north korea russia needs to play an even

more active role on the community. strategically speaking for example that can be accomplished by a trilateral cooperation between north korea south korea and russia i believe that north korea will be ready to nuclearize very soon there could be will say an agreement about some of the nuclear weapons and materials to be taken to russia and disposed of there then on the basis of mutual trust with the united states and russia could help north korea in the energy center on the job for example build a gas pipeline and trucks with this north korea would open up to the world a little more that's how we could solve this issue as well this way united states russia relations will improve i mean this possible cooperation will avoid given sanctions with almost. no one else i think could trade between russia and south korea facilitate closer ties between the north and the

south and in geographically it would involve transit through north korean territory which would mean more cooperation between russia south korea and north korea in order to expand trade. one of the main obstacles for the far eastern development is the instability on the korean peninsula as soon as there is peace on the korean peninsula we would have incredible potential for mutually beneficial development not only for the far east but also north east asia as a whole. russia wants to cooperate with the asia pacific that is the center of the global economic growth the far east and north korea will be the engine of economic growth in the twenty first century. trade with is growing and the korean peninsula is adored. asia pacific region as a whole if peace prevails here russia will be able to have economically beneficial relations not only with the west but also with the asia pacific. economic you.

touched on this before the interview with the sanctions between russia and the west and the latest u.s. and european sanctions against russia is turning east but look at this forum for instance it cleary proves that russia is seriously about this pivot to so will benefit from that i don't know maybe by taking this vacated by western partners or russia. i'm very happy that russia is paying closer attention to the east including korea career used to be russia's partners we co-operated see as well it would be nice to rebuild all that but we definitely need to bolster our ties i very much hope we will need many times in the future here and at the eastern economic forum that russian made possible ten years i think russia will be a true asian country not only in the jug logical sense yes and also economically

that is why i think. the economy. right now the u.s. is south korea's closest partner or any country which is out of tune with american foreign policy towards russia is heavily criticized by united states and this could pressure on for instance there is a number of european countries which are not that eager to impose sanctions on russia but what is pressured by the u.s. since the e.u. itself is under american influence they have to obey and imposed sanctions aren't you afraid to south korea being such a close american partner would not be allowed by washington to become friends with russia. you know i think that one day sanctions will disappear like snow. but it will take time for york. and for us and the whole world economy the sanctions imposed on russia by the united states and the e.u. have a clear detrimental effect. to operation efforts throughout the world i think that

some day us russian relations will improve and when that day finally comes up we have to be ready we need to start preparing the foundations for that other. one of those allies asking aren't you afraid the south korea will simply not be allowed to develop closer ties with russia. to south korea maybe a small country but we are a sovereign nation we are not subjects of america even though it is an important partner. but there are many ways in which we are independent from america at the best we have the right to choose our own destiny for example the size of our economy besides america and japan who would be happy to develop relations with russia with the eurasian continent on the whole with nations and with india yet there is nothing bad about that is there no i don't believe that we are america's

puppets no that is definitely not us. at the pilots. some people are talking about a possible to nuclearization of the korean peninsula and they're saying that north korea might finally give up its nuclear weapons and eventually sign a treaty with you if that happens will south korea have any meat for a year strips on a peninsular or will you say so long we don't need you anymore now that the threat is gone home. will denuclearization and north korea are not directly tied to the presence of united states troops in south korea but i do not think u.s. forces will be staying here forever. these two factors should not be perceived as related to one another this is the way we see things right now our priority. denuclearization. not supposed to they. don't trample on kim jong good nor are building bridges to ties between washington and beijing are becoming strained one

could play on young somehow take advantage show the crisis in u.s. china relations it could attempt to bargain for concessions by capitalizing on u.s. china tensions for instance. no you know. china has a strong influence on north korea and so does america and russia north korea is very important to us in order to resolve the issue of north korea's nuclear program we will require support from all parties including the major powers as us china russia and japan that without the help of these nations we will not be able to secure fulginiti air ization and achieve peace and prosperity on the korean peninsula but i say this because i want to emphasize just how important russia's role is to this and tired thing what's what's the bus. i said i'd like to ask you something when north korea and america had per america blame china blame beijing

for manipulating north korea now the relations between north korea in america have improved i mean we don't see anyone in the knowledge ing beijing's role or thinking china say commanding north korea to improve relations with america in other words when relations are bad between north korea and the u.s. it's china's fault but if relations do improve then suddenly china had nothing to do with it so how come it you'll. get the. synopsis of the trade war between china and the united states is heating up the poor and that is very very unfortunate because the lack of close cooperation between the two powers makes it impossible to resolve the north korean issue. that trump is very aggressive right now with respect to beijing isn't ham he's taking some onyx. acted and have a hand in measures against china so wear it on the markets are bracing for a new round in the tariff for that but what if all these threats are no different

from what trump it with kim stores korea germany or what he did and he kept piling on threats until the two leaders finally matt and i wonder if he's planning to do the same with china i mean he will keep threats until he makes a sudden you turn to or supply and he could couldn't he one of the most. the way i see it is a little bit different previously under the obama administration the problem was that from america's few point trade with china seemed unfair to all that was the way they saw it at the cup but now under trump we'll see there's a multitude of grievances with china's policies and this is not just about national security it's also about stealing technology it's about copyright law and us intellectual property and so on still the united states and china need to negotiate and arrive at a solution to this trade war it's all dragging on and i think that the fault lies with china america is worried about its technology being stolen and this is what i

believe america is most afraid of and that is why there are tensions. if there's one thing i don't get are this two countries really that much at odds with one another that prevent each other from prospering i mean how serious are the actual economic tensions between china and america i mean really yes. yes well unfortunately they are quite real recently the korea institute for international economic policy investigated the way united states sanctions against chinese goods at the affected korea's economy and what we found was that the entire situation was restricting to me is economic opportunities so far the effect hasn't been too severe but if the tensions continue. and if it goes on like that for some time it will become a threat to our economy and to the region's economy as a whole idea. what confession as

a let down china is because they were this construction project of the century and i'm talking about the new silk road project they're constructing infrastructure. when will this mega projects be launched will china even care by that point about some tariffs on them by trump and you. americans are very very closely monitoring this right now they have taken the wait and see approach to see what it all leads to. confidence i mean russia china. is a need railway system and if americans invest in it with their capital and their technology joins in i believe that would guarantee high efficiency and mutually beneficial. effects. thank you very much for the conversation and i wish.
