\n

\u00a0South Korean<\/a>\u00a0President Moon Jae-in has been steering his foreign policy through narrow gaps and around tricky obstacles during his first nine months, like a video game race car nearing the end of a level. Having dodged multiple pitfalls, he’s positioned himself to act as a bridge between the United States and\u00a0North Korea<\/a>. His envoy has returned from a\u00a0successful foray to Pyongyang<\/a>\u00a0and Moon Jae-in is driving things forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

True, the\u00a0United States<\/a>\u00a0has contributed to an inflection point through its pressure campaign. And North Korea helped choose the timing by declaring the “completion<\/a>” of its nuclear force in late November and then by calling for Olympic cooperation in\u00a0Kim Jong Un’s New Year’s speech<\/a>. But since then, the Moon government has been the one forging a path toward meaningful talks between the key stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Moon sent a delegation to Pyongyang this week to explore further peace initiatives on the Korean Peninsula, building on the Olympic d\u00e9tente. Its job, essentially, was to\u00a0get the North Koreans to use the word “denuclearization,”<\/a>\u00a0and then take that, with whatever qualifiers Pyongyang attached, to sell in Washington. That Pyongyang did use that word surprised many, but both Moon and Kim are savvy enough to know without the word “denuclearization” US President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0would not respond.<\/p>\n
