S. Korea Says Korean Leaders to Meet on Denuclearization

韓國(guó)稱朝韓領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人將就無(wú)核化舉行會(huì)談

A South Korean official says North Korea's leader commented that he is committed to denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

一名韓國(guó)官員表示，朝鮮領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人表態(tài)稱他一直致力于朝鮮半島無(wú)核化。

National security advisor Chung Eui-yong also said that the leaders of North and South Korea are to meet in the capital of North Korea, Pyongyang, from September 18th to the 20th. Chung made the announcement Thursday in Seoul.

韓國(guó)國(guó)家安全顧問鄭義榮(Chung Eui-yong)還表示，朝韓兩國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人將于9月18日到20日在朝鮮首都平壤舉行峰會(huì)。鄭義榮于周四在首爾宣布了這一消息。

One day earlier, Chung led a delegation to the North Korean capital to confirm details of the planned meeting. He also met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

一天之前，鄭義榮率領(lǐng)代表團(tuán)前往朝鮮首都確認(rèn)即將舉行的峰會(huì)細(xì)節(jié)。他還會(huì)見了朝鮮領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人金正恩。

Kim said to be frustrated

金正恩自稱感覺受挫

Thursday, Chung told reporters about his talks with Kim. He said Kim confirmed his commitment to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. The official added that Kim also promised to cooperate with both South Korea and the United States.

周四，鄭義榮對(duì)記者談到了他和金正恩的會(huì)談。他說(shuō)，金正恩證實(shí)了他對(duì)半島無(wú)核化的承諾。這位官員補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，金正恩還承諾同韓國(guó)以及美國(guó)合作。

Chung said that Kim's faith in U.S. President Donald Trump is unchanged since their summit in Singapore on June 12.

鄭義榮表示，金正恩自6月12日新加坡峰會(huì)以來(lái)對(duì)美國(guó)總統(tǒng)川普的信心沒有動(dòng)搖。

News of the comment brought a statement of thanks from Trump on Twitter.

這一表態(tài)引發(fā)川普總統(tǒng)在推特上發(fā)表了感謝聲明。

Chung noted that Kim said he wishes for North Korea and the U.S. to end their hostilities by the end of Trump's first term in office in 2021.

鄭義榮指出，金正恩表示他希望朝鮮和美國(guó)在川普2021年首個(gè)任期結(jié)束前消除敵對(duì)。

The Associated Press reports that Chung said Kim expressed frustration over the international community's reaction to measures taken by the North.

據(jù)美聯(lián)社報(bào)道，鄭義榮稱，金正恩對(duì)國(guó)際社會(huì)對(duì)朝鮮所采取措施的反應(yīng)表示失望。

Several measures were meant to show the North's willingness to end its banned weapons programs. These include disabling part of the Sohae missile launch area and destruction of tunnels used to test nuclear weapons. Last month, North Korea also returned 55 sets of human remains to the United States. They are believed to be those of American soldiers who died in the Korean War.

有幾項(xiàng)措施旨在表明朝鮮愿意終止其受禁武器計(jì)劃，其中包括拆除西海導(dǎo)彈發(fā)射場(chǎng)的部分區(qū)域，以及破壞核武器試驗(yàn)隧道。上個(gè)月，朝鮮還向美國(guó)歸還了55具遺體，他們被認(rèn)為是在朝鮮戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中喪生的美國(guó)士兵。

Kim said he would take "more active" measures toward denuclearization if his moves were met with similar measures, Chung said.

金正恩表示，如果他的行動(dòng)獲得同等回應(yīng)，他會(huì)采取更加積極的措施實(shí)現(xiàn)無(wú)核化。

The South Korean delegation came to Pyongyang as U.S.-North Korean diplomatic efforts appeared to have cooled. Last month, Trump cancelled a planned trip by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Pyongyang. He said not enough progress had been made toward denuclearization.

韓國(guó)代表團(tuán)來(lái)到朝鮮正值美朝外交努力似乎遇冷。上個(gè)月，川普取消了國(guó)務(wù)卿蓬佩奧前往平壤的預(yù)定行程。他稱朝鮮在實(shí)現(xiàn)無(wú)核化方面未能取得足夠進(jìn)展。

Critics of the most recent negotiation efforts say North Korea has, in the past, said it would end its nuclear program. They say the North has often sought to gain economic aid and then failed to keep its promises.

近期談判努力的批評(píng)人士表示，朝鮮過去也曾表示將結(jié)束其核武器計(jì)劃。他們表示，朝鮮經(jīng)常尋求獲得經(jīng)濟(jì)援助，然后又未能履行承諾。

China's part in negotiations

中國(guó)的參與

The most recent developments come as North Korea prepares to mark its 70th anniversary on September 9. Representatives of North Korea's close ally, China, are expected to be at the special ceremony.

這些最新事態(tài)發(fā)展正值朝鮮準(zhǔn)備在9月9日慶祝其成立70周年。中方代表有望出席這一特別儀式。

Chinese parliamentary chief Li Zhanshu is set to attend, not President Xi Jinping. Li is the third ranking member in China's Communist Party.

中國(guó)人大常委會(huì)委員長(zhǎng)栗戰(zhàn)書將出席儀式，而不是中國(guó)國(guó)家主席習(xí)近平。栗戰(zhàn)書是中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨第三號(hào)成員。

Stephen Noerper is a senior director at the Korea Society in New York City.

斯蒂芬·諾爾珀(Stephen Noerper)是紐約市韓國(guó)協(xié)會(huì)的高級(jí)主管。

He said, while China has listened to North Korea's concerns, the country has reduced trade with its neighbor and placed pressure on it. North Korea continues to face strong United Nations restrictions because of its banned nuclear and missile program.

他說(shuō)，雖然中國(guó)聽取了朝鮮的擔(dān)憂，但是該國(guó)減少了與朝鮮的貿(mào)易，并對(duì)其施加了壓力。朝鮮由于其受禁核武器和導(dǎo)彈計(jì)劃，仍然面臨聯(lián)合國(guó)的強(qiáng)硬制裁。

President Trump has called on China to do more to get North Korea to take part in talks on denuclearization.

川普總統(tǒng)曾呼吁中國(guó)采取更多措施，讓朝鮮回到無(wú)核化談判中來(lái)。

Noerper said South Korea is acting as a moderator between the U.S. and the North. He said this position is risky for South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Moon's popularity at home has fallen since his earlier meetings with Kim and the Trump-Kim summit.

諾爾珀表示，韓國(guó)擔(dān)任了美國(guó)和朝鮮之間的調(diào)停人。他說(shuō)，這種立場(chǎng)對(duì)韓國(guó)總統(tǒng)文在寅來(lái)說(shuō)是一種冒險(xiǎn)。自他今年早些時(shí)候同金正恩會(huì)面以及川金會(huì)以來(lái)，文在寅在韓國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)的受歡迎度有所下降。

Moon spoke to his aides Thursday about the next meeting with Kim. He said the talks will speed up negotiations between the U.S. and North Korea on the issue of denuclearization.

文在寅周四跟他的助手談到了下次與金正恩的會(huì)談。他說(shuō)，這些會(huì)談將會(huì)加速美朝之間就無(wú)核化問題進(jìn)行的談判。

The newly announced summit between the Korean leaders would come just before the yearly gathering of world leaders at the United Nations in New York.

新近宣布的韓朝領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人峰會(huì)將在聯(lián)合國(guó)世界領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人年度會(huì)面之前舉行。
