Negli scorsi giorni ne hanno parlato televisioni, radio, quotidiani e per giunta giornali sportivi: il 12 giugno si è svolto il tanto atteso summit bilaterale, nella sede neutrale di Singapore, tra il Presidente USA Trump e il leader nordcoreano Kim Jong-Un. I toni sono stati generalmente trionfalistici negli Stati Uniti e in Europa, seppur con qualche distinguo da parte di alcuni analisti, che vi hanno visto molta propaganda (da parte di entrambi) e pochi fatti concreti. Comunque la si veda, si è trattato di un momento storico, peraltro arrivato dopo mesi di escalation (a parole) tra i due (ex??) nemici. Una cosa è certa, la Corea del Nord ha raggiunto il suo obiettivo: sedersi al tavolo dei negoziati da sola con gli USA che, da sempre e nonostante la propaganda di regime, considera l’unico vero interlocutore (con buona pace della Corea del Sud e degli altri attori regionali in causa).
Non sorprende dunque che anche la stampa ufficiale nordcoreana si sia dimostrata alquanto trionfalistica nei toni. Secondo la KCNA del 13 giugno 2018:
“Thanks to the fixed decision and will of the top leaders of the two countries to put an end to the extreme hostile relations between the DPRK and the U.S., which lingered for the longest period on the earth on terms of acute confrontation and to open up a new future for the sake of the interests of the peoples of the two countries and global peace and security, the first DPRK-U.S. summit is to be held”.
“The top leaders of the two countries came to take their first step toward reconciliation for the first time in the 70 odd years-long history of standoff and antagonism since the division of the Korean Peninsula, and to stand face to face at the venue of dialogue”.
“The two top leaders had a candid exchange of views on the practical issues of weighty significance in putting an end to the decades-long hostile relations between the DPRK and the U.S. and making peace and stability settle on the Korean Peninsula”.
“Kim Jong Un said in order to achieve peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula and realize its denuclearization, the two countries should commit themselves to refraining from antagonizing each other out of mutual understanding, and take legal and institutional steps to guarantee it.
Expressing his understanding of it, Trump expressed his intention to halt the U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises, which the DPRK side regards as provocation, over a period of good-will dialogue between the DPRK and the U.S., offer security guarantees to the DPRK and lift sanctions against it along with advance in improving the mutual relationship through dialogue and negotiation”.“After the luncheon, the top leaders had a walk, deepening friendly feelings”.
“Kim Jong Un invited Trump to visit Pyongyang at a convenient time and Trump invited Kim Jong Un to visit the U.S.”.
