And the standoff between North Korea and the world continues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that Kim Jong-un probably overplayed his hand in thinking President Trump would agree to something that his negotiating team wouldn\u2019t,\u201d says Daniel Wertz who is a Program Coordinator for the North Korean Committee in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Kim Jong-un offered to dismantle some of its nuclear facilities in return for lifting the most biting UN sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t in the interest for the U.S. to take the deal. The sanctions pressure would have been lifted, but North Korea would have been able to continue producing nuclear warheads, ballistic missiles and biological and chemical weapons,\u201d says Wertz.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump\u2019s counter offer was for North Korea to fully denuclearize, and in return promising North Korea a path to riches and prosperity. Kim Jong-un didn\u2019t take the deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings look like they could go downhill rather quickly,\u201d says Wertz. \u201cBut on the other hand, I think there is still space for the two sides to engage and work well towards negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cusjc.ca\/mrp\/strainedrelations\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/04\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-27-at-12.43.31-PM.png&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.21&#8243;]<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.22.5&#8243;]<em> The 2019 U.S. &#8211; North Korea Summit took place in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Hahn is pleased to see President Trump and South Korean President Moon\u2019s willingness to speak with Kim Jong-un, but is pessimistic about the summits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven after they&#8217;ve come to some kind of agreement at these summits, they turn around and renege on them. You can&#8217;t be an optimist,\u201d says Hahn.<\/p>\n<p>For North Korea, there could be an advantage to engage with a more neutral state like Canada. The Canadian government once endorsed Kim Dae Jung\u2019s \u201cSunshine Policy\u201d and could share some of its own sunny ways through acting as negotiator.<\/p>\n<p>The North tends to view U.S. policies as hostile, and a less aggressive Canadian presence could play a constructive role in talks about denuclearization.<\/p>\n<p>Marius Grinius has advocated to restore Canadian-North Korean diplomatic relations by cross-accrediting the current ambassador to Korea to Pyongyang. Marius was the the first cross-accredited Canadian ambassador to Seoul and Pyongyang, and travelled to Pyongyang multiple times between 2007-2010.<\/p>\n<p>Grinius points out that Canada continued to maintain diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union even as Cold War tensions escalated. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoscow was ready to nuke us, but we kept our embassy there.

They&#8217;re legal citizens, but they never really attain that kind of cultural citizenship\u201d \u2013 Sean Chung, Han Voice<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">North Koreans who find integrating into South Korea overly burdensome may chose to migrate to third country like Canada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThey live in South Korea for a number of years, and they cannot assimilate,\u201d says Robert Hahn. \u201cThey are not South Korean. They are North Koreans who happened to get to South Korea before Canada,\u201d says Hahn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After a North Korean refugee graduates from the Hanawon program, they receive South Korean citizenship, and are no longer refugees. International refugee law states refugees cannot receive asylum to more than one country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In 2012, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada began issuing deportation notices to North Koreans. Han Voice reports that North Koreans had destroyed their South Korean passports in order to seek asylum to Canada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">North Koreans who illegally immigrated to Canada are now in a precarious situation. Canadian immigration is in the process of deporting North Koreas who immigrated with false papers to South Korea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThey&#8217;ve already crossed four or five borders to get to South Korea. They don\u2019t understand why it\u2019s wrong, because that&#8217;s what they did to survive,\u201d says Sean Chung, the Director of Advocacy and Strategy of Han Voice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The immigration procedure as a non-refugee is lengthy and expensive. It requires proof of income with guarantee of work or sponsorship to Canada. By applying as refugees, North Koreans mitigate these issues, and can gain permanent residence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a struggle being North Korean in South Korea, because South Korea is a very homogenous society,\u201d says Chung. \u201cThey&#8217;re legal citizens, but they never really attain that kind of cultural citizenship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">South Korea is considered a durable solution for North Korean defectors by international law\u2019s standards. However, for North Koreans who struggle to integrate into South Korea, a less culturally homogenous country such as Canada may be a more attractive option.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Chung works with North Korean defectors who have migrated to Canada. Through his research he found that North Koreans leave South Korea because of discrimination based on their North Korean heritage.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.22.5&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; header_3_font=&#8221;Oswald||||||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;5px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; border_style_top=&#8221;dashed&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;24px|||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Subtle ways Canada is building up<br \/> relationships with North Korea<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;3.22.5&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22.5&#8243;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;3.22.5&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;-54px|||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"piktowrapper-embed\" style=\"height: 300px\" data-uid=\"38491180-untitled-infographic-copy\">\n<div class=\"pikto-canvas-wrap\">\n<div class=\"pikto-canvas\">\n<div class=\"embed-loading-overlay\" style=\"width: 100%;height: 100%;text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"60px\" alt=\"Loading...\" style=\"margin-top: 100px\" src=\"https:\/\/create.piktochart.com\/loading.gif\" \/><pee style=\"margin: 0;padding: 0;font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-weight: 600;font-size: 16px\">Loading&#8230;<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d){var js, id=\"pikto-embed-js\", ref=d.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if (d.getElementById(id)) { return;}js=d.createElement(\"script\"); js.id=id; js.async=true;js.src=\"https:\/\/create.piktochart.com\/assets\/embedding\/embed.js\";ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);}(document));<\/script>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global response: denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula Summits The Singapore and Hanoi Summits between North Korea and the U.S. did not produce a deal to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
