namaskar and welcome to Sunset
television I am Vishal dehia and you're
watching our show perspective where we
bring you detailed analysis of key
National and international issues today
we're going to talk about the tensions
in the Korean Peninsula now North Korea
launched two more ballistic missiles of
its East Coast on Monday with State News
Agency kcna quoting the powerful sister
of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un
saying pyongyang's use of the Pacific as
its firing range would entirely depend
on the U.S forces action character now
these launches come just two days after
North Korea fired an intercontinental
ballistic missile that is ICBM into the
sea of Japan's West Coast promo
prompting the United States to hold
joint air exercises with South Korea and
separately with Japan as well on Sunday
while Japanese prime minister
requested an emergency United Nations
security council meeting over the test
South Korea's joint Chief of Staff a
strong only condemned the launches as a
grave provocation that should be seized
immediately so we'll try and understand
a bit more about these tensions in the
Korean Peninsula why is it happening and
what's the way out how serious is the
escalation this time around for more on
this we joined by a distinguished panel
of experts let me first introduce them
to you beginning with we have in the
studio Mr Karthik bhumakanti is a senior
fellow with ORF uh welcome Mr bomakanti
to our Studios Chaudhary uh foreign
affairs editor with Hindustan times is
also joining us and so it's former
Minister manjeet Singh Puri as well uh
welcome both of you gentlemen as well
I'll begin with you Karthik and let's
you know first start by understanding a
few basic points here this is not the
first time that uh you know this sort of
Crisis uh which has been uh you know led
by a missile test by North Korea has
happened in the Korean Peninsula but
what's the Genesis you know why does it
keep on happening year after year we see
uh and in fact in last year there is in
2022 there were a large number of
missile tests which you carried by in
North Korea yeah certainly the test
conducted by North Korea are not new
these tests are also not new
what is most important to recognize as
you said is why it happens over and over
again and the deeper reason for that is
because the north has no source of
Leverage it's only two sources of
Leverage are its nuclear weapons program
and its missile program
and they are invaluable tools of
coercion they knock the South Koreans of
balance they knocked the they knock the
Japanese off balance in apart that apart
the Americans who are they close allies
knocks them off balance and that's one
way of you know not just keeping them
off balance but it also allows them to
remind the rest of the world that it can
that North Korea has the capacity to
also refine and improve its capabilities
and it can Target
places well beyond the Korean Peninsula
including the American mainland
okay okay so there lies the Genesis part
there will dwell more into this as well
uh Ambassador I'd like to bring you in
here you know your views on on why this
keeps on happening and also for us to
better understand how serious is the
escalation this time around
you will have to unmute yourself sir I
was muted apology Michelle thank you
very much I think our colleague has
stretched to you the kind of situations
that the North Korea a finds themselves
and we have put themselves in having
said that the fact remains why now why
not after 10 days why not after 15 days
whenever look in my understanding one is
this entire issue that you know there
are domestic uh political kind of things
within the family Mr Kim himself
asserting himself showing off now his
daughter his sister coming to the force
and there are various issues of that
particular kind with someone who's an
expert would be able to understand it
the second are various issues dealing
with the United States upping its ante
in the Far Eastern part part as a result
of Chinese hegemonistic moves August and
all of these particular things now are
the Chinese again the North Koreans I'm
not so sure but I won't be very much
surprised if you know there was a little
bit of saying yes you know you do this
thirdly there are this entire Dimension
that the United States is occupied
somewhere but it's also acting up in the
in the party side and the North Koreans
you know want to uh sort of tell the
South Koreans and everyone that look we
are of course we are opposed to reckon
with and you know don't sort of trifle
with us and and take us into the scene
remember one more point and I'm making
these points you know more as a kind of
question why it's happened uh a few
years back before President Biden came
through the to park Mr trumpet actually
reached out to the North Korea yes now
think of yourself from the perspective
of a leader like the North Korean leader
husband shunned by everyone who suddenly
finds that himself he is being fated and
called to a meeting by Donald Trump and
now suddenly it's back to the old things
that you know forget about this guy keep
him
so is it all of that you know this needs
somebody who's very familiar with the
psychology
causes them the way of their thinking
but you know I would say
these things have happened in the past
these things will continue to happen in
the past but they are serious and we
should take them with you seriousness
because the North Koreans are now
developing their missile program as well
as their nuclear capability and this is
certainly a serious content okay okay uh
permit uh you know uh your assessment of
the situation and also would you agree
with what Ambassador Puri is pointing
out there that you know uh perhaps uh
you you've called the North Korean
leader to the uh table for talks
discussion dialogue and then Chun name
again so the other guy has no leverage
uh but to you know display its uh force
in terms of missile tests
so yeah first I'll point out that we've
seen a steady should we say acceleration
in North Korea's missile program uh if
you look at the number of tests that
were held last year uh it was a
staggering number by North Korean
standards in fact 25 percent of all the
North Korean missile launches in history
we're all carried out just last year in
addition on February 9th we saw the
North Koreans hold a military parade uh
where they showed again the largest
number of icbms they've ever done before
over a dozen icbms were paraded along
Pyongyang and we saw Kim Jong-un make a
speech where he declared that there
would be an exponential increase
in the number of nuclear missiles of the
nuclear arsenal of North Korea in the
coming year
I love just these long-range missiles
that we're talking about here in
particular seemed to have pointed out
that tactical nuclear missiles would
also be part of what he was planning to
do that's important because effectively
those are not for display or show those
are missiles that are designed for
actual Warfare uh land Warfare we've
seen North Korea become it's already
very close to China but align itself in
many ways much much more towards Beijing
and to some degree Moscow in its
language in its overall foreign policy
over the past several months all of this
points to a North Korea that doesn't see
should we say but doesn't seem to feel
it has to have much Advance
gain from really going out of its way on
negotiations as has been mentioned since
what 2019 there have been no discussions
uh between of any consequence between
the U.S and North Korea or between any
of the countries in Northeast Asia
my instinct would be that given the kind
of tests he's doing
um and the language he's giving Kim
Jong-un is indicating he's actually not
all that interested in negotiations
right now yes there are pro there does
seem to be some economic issues in North
Korea because of sanctions but given
that its border with China is open and
given China's economic capacities uh
North Korea I don't think has much to
worry on that front or is not worried
about that front it used to in the past
try to play off
um its negotiations with the United
States and in it and then opening up to
Japan or South Korea okay uh to at least
reduce its dependence on China it was
close to China but didn't always need to
want to become completely dependent on
China it doesn't seem to be that
interesting in going down that path
anymore so my expectation is that we
will see more such missile launches we
will see more such language and overall
as Ambassador Puris mentioned we will
see a far greater degree of tension in
Northeast Asia not just because of this
but because of the language we're seeing
over Taiwan but also keep in mind the
Japanese announcement of a new defense
strategy intuitively re-militarized
Japan
yeah you wanted to say something uh
thank you Vishal I very much agree with
what ramit has just put out this
business of what kills is happening
there now you know Chinese instrument
has resulted in even those who had
pacifist ideas in their constitution
like Japan Etc coming to the fore and
naturally the United States is becoming
more cognizant of what we like to call
indo-pacific but let's say the Far East
using old thing The Outpost strategy Etc
and so therefore to look at some people
like uh Kim Jong-un
Etc from North Korea and they're coming
to the foreign
which they are because of their
possession of missile and nuclear
technology but also you know let me say
putting forward the point that you know
it isn't such a simple matter okay there
is there are lots of other Power Players
which are involved and this game is not
such a straightforward one okay I think
these are all dangerous potentials for
the future and therefore I very much
agree with what pravita said you will
continue to see all of this going up
it's been ratcheted up and it will I'm
afraid continue okay okay we'll we'll
come to that part as well but uh Karthik
here you know uh to understand a bit
more the the gravity of the situation uh
seriousness uh of the tensions the
prevailing tensions in Korean Peninsula
we all have to understand few aspects
which all of you pointed out one uh
North Korea is a nuclear uh powered
Nation nuclear armed Nation that's one
two it's a very uh you know secretive
country not much is known about the kind
of strategies they deploy or the kind of
you know uh decisions they take based on
what discussions they hold
autocratic regime of course the other
part being the fact that you know there
are other powers as well it's not just
uh you know Japan South Korea United
States as as both the other panelists
are pointing out uh China and Russia are
also uh players perhaps uh behind the
scenes as of now but yes they are yes
absolutely I mean North Korea serves as
a very important proxy for both of them
given the kind of alignment there is
between China and the and Russia today
uh North Korea plays a very very pivotal
role in terms of its capacity to you
know destabilize the region keep all of
China's adversaries at least within the
sub-region of Northeast Asia of balance
and remind them that regardless of their
efforts to build up their capabilities
as the Ambassador and Mr Chaudhary and
Dr Chaudhary pointed out uh that you
know Japan has revised its military
policy it is in the process of building
up its capabilities it's going it's
raised defense spending significantly
these factors weigh a lot on what the
North Koreans are doing and they have
been egged on and certainly encouraged
by Beijing and Moscow very likely to you
know carry out these tests and they will
continue to do so and they if they test
again nuclear weapons I mean uh nuclear
devices that will be certainly intended
as as Mr chaudia has pointed out towards
developing tactical nuclear weapons
because they would get a more refined
and a more capable uh nuclear Arsenal
okay so more leverage uh North Korea
holds uh the better it is that's what
their strategy seems to be and you know
the more Elbow Room or maneuvering power
out there now Mr Puri you know one more
aspect since you mentioned the
indo-pacific out there and when we look
at it from India's perspective let's
let's try and understand it from that
perspective because because there's
another you know uh multilateral form
quad wherein two of the uh member
nations of the Quad are the countries
which are involved in this crisis to a
very close extent Japan whose prime
minister has asked for a you know uh
emergency session of the U.N security
Council United States against whom North
Korea's entire you know irate seems to
be aimed at
absolutely right I mean these are
countries which are specific parts
and you know their proximity to North
Korea proximity to China these are
extremely important now you know let's
look at it from the Indian perspective
quite apart from flare-ups In the far
East or in the indo-pacific region let's
also remember one thing North Korea has
been aware of its technology including
in our neighborhood and so if they start
perfecting these kinds of things whether
it's besides technical nuclear weapons
Etc and then become
profits for kind of proliferating teeth
what does it mean for our own security
this is a country where its development
of these particular technology is really
out of the Ambit of whatever rule space
I know India is not a member of the npt
and neither other P5 Etc but you know
outside the general purview of what is
under some kind of umbrella some kind of
willingness at least voluntarily by the
countries to abide by the general rules
of the way and so therefore these are
all extremely important matters and for
us it can't be a matter of simply
looking and saying look it's far away
from us it doesn't matter if what they
do with their technology and the fact
that they are now refining these
Technologies moving into areas where
frankly there are very few countries in
the world which are in the possession of
such technology which are lethal okay
okay and and also you know going going
further ahead uh Ambassador Puri do you
see a diplomatic way out of this entire
crisis or or is that something which
given the kind of statements which are
coming in from North Korea and the kind
of responses from both South Korea and
Japan out there is there a room for any
diplomatic dialogue there possibility
has it happened in 2019 with the talks
between President Trump and Kim Jong-un
uh Michelle you know I don't know
sometimes things just happen let's look
at the U.N security Council at the end
of the day it will be the Russian and
the Chinese willing to go along isn't it
now in general we would say they would
not allow North Korea to be condemned or
huge more sanctions levied on them but
you know you never know what kind of
games they are willing to play whether
we the Western Country and they might
just go along some kind of a resolution
I don't know the answers because these
really rest in the real of their own
understanding of their situation their
foreign policy compulsions and more than
that what is it and how is it that they
look at it in terms of domestic quality
now the United States and its situation
whether we China has undergone a number
of Series this balloon business cannot
be underestimated because it was people
in the United States who saw them and
there was reactions of that is that time
so as simple as that they President
Biden is now preparing for the 2024 for
election you see this happening all
around so we don't know exactly the way
they will react okay if you're talking
about diplomacy you know Kim kyun is a
very difficult
um person to be able to diplomatically
tackle having said this how can I coming
from where I am saying that attempts
should not be made and these attempts
need to be both formal as well as
informant and Frankly Speaking if it is
possible to do even under the churned
circumstances to ask the Chinese to step
onto it I heard uh U.S Secretary of
State Anthony blinken mentioned
something of this kind on the television
last night and I sincerely hope that
these kind of leverages
North Korea the U.S China and those
issues are separate try and keep them
separate but a degree of reaching out
and talking to them is particularly
important because the importance
otherwise can be dangerous even if just
accident
ok ok you know how do you see uh the
road to de-escalation ah of course uh
you and earlier Mr Puri have also
pointed out Karthik has also referred to
it that North Korea would not want to
miss any opportunity to you know uh sort
of flex it must its muscles and that
might lead to further tensions but
de-escalation process when we talk about
in the backdrop of the fact that the uh
you know the relations between United
States and China and the United States
and Russia are Frosty at this moment
yes right now it's I wouldn't say that
there seems to be very any likelihood of
much happening uh one is a North Korean
government is a conservative government
president Yoon is not has taken a hard
line a reasonably Hardline on North
Korea's actions uh just after this
missile test I believe they just imposed
a set of sanctions against five entities
and and a bunch of individuals in North
Korea traditionally it's been the left
liberal Coalition government's got
parties and when they're in power that
try to take a softer line on North Korea
uh we have to see my sense is that we
will see North Korea carry out more such
tests and then find out what exactly do
they want to get out of this do they
want to use this as the basis for some
sort of negotiations or concessions are
they doing it with a with a wink and an
eye a wing and a nudge from Beijing
China them cause some problems in this
neighborhood to remind the Americans and
the Japanese that without us they cannot
stabilize stabilize this region
or are they just even trying to or are
they genuinely trying to develop a a new
generation of weapons uh one of the
things we have to watch out for they the
North Koreans in this test announced
that this was a a sudden test an attempt
to test their capacity to launch uh with
with minimal warning uh which is a which
is a kind of thing you do in preparation
for war it's not a type of thing you do
and just preparation for just developing
a program if they carry out more such
tests including tactical training on the
ground with nuclear weapons or technical
then it would be actually a very
dangerous sign because it would indicate
what they are developing is war
preparedness military capacity to
actually fight animal who's just having
a attempt to show what they can do which
would be very which is more traditional
and less of a concern okay okay uh
Gothic you know a final question to you
in terms of the way forward and we have
to look at all the factors here the kind
of statements which have come in from
North Korea or Kim Jong-un sister you
know saying that its actions will depend
upon the U.S Defense Forces action
character that is what they do in
response to these kind of tests that is
one two Japanese prime minister seeking
uh you know emergency session of the
United Nations security Council and if
you look at other actors there as I was
mentioning earlier you know the kind of
relation which as of now exists between
United States and Russia and us and
China as well uh over uh Ukraine Taiwan
balloon issue as well not everything is
hunky-dory here no no it's not the only
thing is that as of now I don't believe
there is much traction at least to see
something done to Tamp down some of
those tensions I think the north will
persist with what it's doing right now
and it's also not conducive to bring
about some kind of uh diplomatic effort
that would at least reduce tensions most
likely what will happen is that there
will be pressure when President Biden
does a visit and when President Biden is
is in the middle of an election year but
when he does meet again with this
Chinese counterpart he will try and
remind him about the importance of you
know keeping some of these tensions down
but apart from that I don't see any
change really happening anytime soon at
least not in the immediate future down
the line perhaps they could be under
some pressure from Moscow and even from
Beijing and the North Koreans could
dampen down but as of now I don't
believe they can be here okay but but
another factor is with Japan helping the
entire business you know it's defense
preparedness that against complicated
situations yeah it does complicate the
situation simply because it's a new
variable today and it's a new variable
even for the Chinese because now they
have to confront a more certain Japan
which they haven't faced since World War
II really or at least since the
Communist Party came to power in China
so they are faced with a completely new
reality and China is the big player is
the biggest player there part from the
U.S in the region so now if Japan starts
to you know become the kind of power it
is and become the kind of military power
that is commensurate to its economic
strength then of course it presents a
new Dynamic altogether okay okay so
there it is that sums up the entire
situation thank you so much karthika and
Mr Puri there as well and uh pramit you
also thank you very much for sharing
your valued inputs out there to try and
make us understand the reasons behind
the tensions in the Korean Peninsula
it's not the first time that North Korea
has fired its missiles or test fired its
missiles over Japan and South Korea into
the Pacific Ocean but this time around
Japan as sought the emergency session of
United Nations security Council and
we'll keep a close track of all the
developments there and keep on bringing
you the detailed analysis on this as
well as several of the topics till then
keep watching Sunset television thank
you
