For now we must continue to strengthen our sanctions and pressure on North Korea.

What Korea and the U.S. both ultimately seek to achieve is the dismantlement of North Korea's nuclear program.

As long as North Korea continues its provocations, I believe that we will have no choice but to apply additional and strong pressure on it. At the same time, it is also important to send out a message to North Korea that if it decides to denuclearize and to come to the negotiating table, then we are willing to assist them.

Although Kim Jong Un is a very unreasonable leader and has a firm, unreasonable belief that nuclear and missile weapons will protect him and his regime, we will continue to employ all possible means - sanctions, pressure, as well as dialogue - to draw North Korea to the negotiating table for denuclearization. To resolve the issue, we have to add dialogue to the current menu of sanctions and pressure.

Fairness and justice will be the base of my government.

For now we must continue to strengthen our sanctions and pressure on North Korea.

It is very deplorable that North Korea still does not uphold human rights, which are universal values.
