SINGAPORE LANDMARK SUMMIT

The Landmark summit between the president of the United States and North Korea , in Singapore on June 12, 2018, was resulted in a document signed by the two leaders committed the US and North Korea to join efforts to "build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula" and "to work toward the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."

There was exactly three principles were concluded: The first principle is about building a new relationship between America and North Korea. The second is about building a stable peace regime in the Korean Peninsula. The third is about ridding the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons.

Also Trump outlined a vision of an Asian geopolitical landscape that included a significantly reduced US military presence, promising to end joint US-South Korean military exercises and eventually withdraw US troops from the Korean Peninsula over long term .

When we unpack the three principles , we will remember the Korean War of 1950-53, which saw thousands of Korean American, and Chinese soldiers die. It also divided the Peninsula and put Washington and Pyongyang on the path of perennial enmity. Ending the prolonged tensions and building a new relationship between America and North Korea has inevitably become the first principle for Trump and Kim.

We have frequently called for solving the Peninsula problem through peaceful means and ridding from all nuclear weapons , AAPSO sincerely welcome Singapore joint statement and call on the leaders trump and Kim to implement the stipulation in this joint statement fully and expeditiously .
