World War 3: Seoul & China nuclear ambassadors to ‘BEEF UP’ strategy against North Korea<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

TOP nuclear envoys from South Korea and China will meet this week to discuss North Korea\u2019s increasing nuclear weapons threat amid increasing fears of a global conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lee Do-hoon, the special representative for Korean Peninsula peace and security affairs, will meet with his Chinese counterpart Kong Xuanyou in Seoul on Friday, according to the foreign ministry.<\/span><\/p>\n

The diplomats will meet to discuss efforts to improve \u201cstrategic communication\u201d regarding Pyongyang\u2019s nuclear arsenal and share assessments of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un\u2019s decision to include his hermit state in the 2018 Winter Olympics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Noh Kyu-duk, foreign ministry spokesman, told a press briefing: \u201cThe meeting will be held as part of efforts to beef up strategic communication regarding the North’s nuclear problem in line with the agreement reached at a summit between the two countries last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey will also share their assessments of the situation on the Korean Peninsula in the wake of the North’s announcement in the New Year’s Day speech and have in-depth discussion on the direction of their future plans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In his New Year\u2019s address, Kim suggested North Korea would allow athletes from the rogue nation to participate in the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.<\/span><\/p>\n

But one expert believes Kim could exploit the Winter Olympics to showcase his military strength in front of the world – despite offering an olive branch to neighbouring South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defence expert Harry Kazianis said: “Of course, the South Koreans are going to try and make the best of it but I guarantee the North Koreans are going to use this for propaganda advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They are going to test an ICBM, or nuclear weapon, or try to hack these Olympics. They are not going to do nothing. They are going to do something.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The news comes as US President Donald Trump mocked Kim on Twitter by boasting that he had a \u201cbigger and more powerful\u201d nuclear button, following a threat from the chubby dictator who he can nuke anywhere in the USA by pressing a button on his desk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Trump tweeted: \u201cNorth Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the \u201cNuclear Button is on his desk at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWill someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
