캐다나 정부가 지난해 가을에, 북한의 인권과 비핵화 추진을 위한 양국의 고위급 관계자회담이 오타와에서 열렸음을 CBC방송이 공식적으로 확인 했음을 보도 했다.
CBC방송 보도에 따르면, 캐나다의 고위급 관리들과 회담하기위해, 지난해 9월말경에 북한의 고위급 관리 5명이 오타와에 도착하여 연속적으로 회담을 했었다고 한다.
캐나다 정부의 고위관리의 말에 의하면, 북한관리들과 당시회담은 2일간 열렸으며, 주요 회담내용은 북한의 비핵화와 북한국민들의 인권문제에 관해,직접 얼굴을 맞대고 토론했었다고 한다.
"이번 회담을 했다고 해서 매일 대화를 한다는뜻은 아니다. 요즘 남북한간 정상회담열린것을 매우 관심있게 주시하고 있으며, 캐나다는 북한측이 비핵화에 대한 확고한 행동을 보여주는게 미흡하여 그점을 캐나다는 매우 염려스럽게 계속적으로 주시 할것이다"라고 Guillaume씨는 CBC뉴스에 이멜을 보내 그뜻을 전해주었었다.
"캐나다에서 볼때, 북한이 발표한 비핵화 실천의지를 확실하게 보여주는 행동을, 북한정권은 보여주지 않으면 안된다."
2018년 북한관리들의 오타와 방문은 미국을 비롯한 캐나다와 가까운 동맹국들의 환영을 받으면서 성사된 것이었다.
"우리 캐나다는, 북한에 압력을 가하기위해, 동맹국들과 항상 통일돤 한목소리로 토의를 해왔다"라고 캐나다 정부관리는 설명하고있다.
"동맹국들과 어떻게 우리동맹국들이 합심하여 일을 할수 있을것인가를, 특히 북한의 비핵화에 관한,
Canada quietly hosted high-level officials from North Korea back in the fall — a low-profile effort to convince the police state to respect human rights and abandon its quest for a nuclear arsenal.
CBC News has confirmed that in late September, a five-person delegation from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) arrived in Ottawa for a series of meetings with Canadian bureaucrats.
A senior government official speaking on background said Canada used the two days of discussions "to push for de-nuclearization and present very real human rights concerns directly, face-to-face, with North Korean interlocutors."
It's still not clear how the meeting was first proposed or organized, but the source said Canadian officials welcomed the in-person conversations.
"It's not something Canada has the opportunity to do every day," the source added.
"While the recent and ongoing dialogue between the Koreas are encouraging, we remain concerned by the lack of concrete actions by North Korea towards de-nuclearization," wrote Guillaume Bérubé in an email to CBC News.
"In Canada's view, North Korea must demonstrate its willingness to follow through on its announced intentions to de-nuclearize."
In 2010, Canada tightened sanctions on North Korea and put new restrictions on bilateral contacts after a torpedo attack on a South Korean warship killed 46 sailors. A team of international investigators concluded that the torpedo came from a North Korean submarine.
Canada's limited engagement policy states that Ottawa will deal with Pyongyang only on matters of regional security, human rights, humanitarian concerns, inter-Korean relations and consular issues.
The 2018 visit to Ottawa was arranged with the blessing of Canada's close allies, including the United States.
"We are always talking to close partners and allies about our unified approach in terms of applying pressure on North Korea," the official said.
"There are regular exchanges among partners, about how we can work in collaboration, particularly in relation to de-nuclearization. It is a global security concern."
James Trottier is a former diplomat who led four Canadian missions to North Korea and helped negotiate the release of a Canadian pastor imprisoned there. He said he would like to see Canada take further steps to re-establish traditional diplomatic ties with the regime.
"It would put us on a par with our like-minded states, and that would allow us to have a first-hand assessment of a situation in North Korea," he said in an interview with CBC News from Bangkok, Thailand.
It would also "put Canada back into the game in terms of discussions among states" on North Korea, he added.
"Right now, we have limited access and limited information," Trottier said.
The former diplomat cited the example of last January's Foreign Ministers' Meeting on Security and Stability on the Korean Peninsula in Vancouver, which was co-hosted by Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland and then-U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Trottier said Canada was at a disadvantage at that summit because, unlike some other western nations, Ottawa has neither a diplomatic presence in Pyongyang nor a representative who visits North Korea regularly.
If Canada had first-hand information, he said, "people would welcome Canada, I would say, and Canadian policy makers more at the table than they do right now."
