the korean peninsula, the road is still long and hard. we know that the absolute and sincere commitment of all concerned parties as well as the full implementation of relevant security council resolutions will lead to a lasting and comprehensive peace agreement in the korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons. thank you, mr. president. president trump: i think the minister for his statement. thank you very much. i now give the floor to the minister for foreign affairs of china. >> mr. president, maintaining global peace and security is the primary responsibility of the security council entrusted by the u.n. charter and a shared responsibility of security council members. given the complex challenges to international peace and security, how should the security council support this mission and play this role, it's a question that deserves serious consideration. china believes the following -- the security council should perform its function in a fair and just manner as mandated by the charter, the security council must uphold the purposes an

order to involve the country in constructive negotiations and the resulting in nuclear issue of the peninsula through just sunk sanctions and pressure on pyongyang is impossible sanctions cannot replace diplomacy. now on the situation situation with the seventeen eighteen sanctions committee. the united states delegation intentionally heightened the tension surrounding the issue of transferring two of the council over the interim report of by the panel of experts and they want to use this trip tribune in order to impose on the international community their own vision of the situation. the meeting we are having today as has been the case recently with our american colleagues have big come a meeting on russia rather than d p r k. what is being said that the russian are trying to exert pressure on the panel of experts well we would like to once and for all put an end to such an incident such insinuations. you know actual fact what is happening is this the work of the panel of experts which because of decisions beyond our own crow big control became increasingly politicized they became ultimately

on the korean peninsula plus south korea. that's what north korea defines as denuclearization of the korean peninsula. the end of the u.s. nuclear umbrella, a promise for no future deployment of nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula. so it's not the same type of denuclearization that we were talking about five years ago or ten years ago. i think two, three months, one year retreat from nuclear potential, we have to think about the price and when it's testifiable, whether we are better off with one year denuclearization, in return for instance all the u.s. troops and all those things that north korea is demanding. but this is something we have to think about. i think we shouldn't rule out the possibility of kim jon denuclearizing. and he's a genius strategist. he knows what he's doing, what he's talking about. >> so talking about that you could withhold some things or go for a year latency, one, we need a risk management strategy, how do we manage the risks of getting partially on this road, and maybe getting what we think we

that is that the ground is shifting on the korean peninsula. the plates are moving in ways you have to step back and take a historical perspective to see. am not saying it is a plus or minus. there are opportunities or dangers in this. is no longer treating south korea like the puppet state of the united states. denuclearization is on the agenda. kim jong-un has promised to go seoul. and would be a big thing has important implications for the united states, the alliance, and the future of the region. even as we try to draw lessons from past experiences, i feel like the gravity is shifting in terms of who is taking the lead on reshaping the korean peninsula, including on the nuclear issue from this side of the pacific to the other. i think we have to be mindful of that and think about that and think about the implications and the management of the u.s./rok relationship and alliance. jumping off something you said, ambassador stevens, that we will move into these talks, one of the questions coming into this process was would enough be done to get
