The spirit of silk road contributes to peace in the Koreas: Analyst
The spirit of the Silk Road and cooperation between Russia, China and the US has contributed to peace in the Korean peninsula, an activist and journalist in Washington says.
Mike Billington, the Asia editor for the Executive Intelligence Review, told Press TV on Tuesday that the Trump administration has distanced itself from British imperial policy of regime change in North Korea and has accepted to cooperate with Russia and China.
He said the Korea model should be followed in other international tensions and said a looming meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could also resolve tensions with Iran and find a solution to the Syrian conflict.
“Those are all possibilities, I’m not forecasting this, but I’m saying we are in a moment of transformation in human history… in which the entire British imperial division of the world into east versus west, which depended on their ability to use the United Sates as a dumb giant to continue the policies of the British empire, colonial type policies beginning with the Vietnam war, continuing with the Middle East wars under Bush and Obama [has been rejected].”
Following their meeting on June 12 in Singapore, the first between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader, Trump and Kim signed a joined document, committing to establishing new relations and achieving peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Trump said he had formed a “very special bond” with Kim and that Washington’s relationship with Pyongyang would be very different.
Trump-Putin meeting
The two leaders are scheduled to meet at first one-on-one talks in the Finnish capital Helsinki on July 16.
The meeting will be the first formal summit talks between them. They have met previously on the sidelines of conferences.
"We're looking forward to it. If we could all get along, it would be great. The world has to start getting along," Trump said during a visit to Wisconsin on Thursday. The day before, he said they would discuss Syria, Ukraine and "many other subjects."
After his meeting with Putin, Trump will make his first visit to the United Kingdom since taking office. He will meet with Prime Minister Theresa May but not receive the lavish state welcome he has enjoyed at stops in other foreign capitals. Instead, he is expected to be greeted with significant protests.
