SEOUL, Sept. 7 (Yonhap) -- The leader of the ruling Democratic Party (DP) on Monday called for strengthening South Korea's independent security capabilities, citing the possibility of a shift toward a "freeze-first" approach to North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
Rep. Kim Min-seok made the call in his policy address to the National Assembly session, stressing the need for Seoul to facilitate dialogue between the United States and North Korea while actively responding to possible changes in their relations.
"Considering the possibility that the United States and North Korea may achieve a dramatic improvement in relations and if by any chance, a 'freeze-first, resolve-later' approach could be adopted on the North Korean nuclear issue, South Korea must strengthen its independent security capabilities in advance," Kim said.
"The days when South Korea could depend solely on the United States are over," Kim added, noting that Washington is choosing to become "a tough negotiating partner rather than a generous big brother."
Kim also said Seoul should consider whether North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's "two-state" policy could be used to promote peaceful coexistence rather than dismissing it entirely.
On domestic issues, Kim pledged to push for a constitutional revision that reflects public consensus, while vowing to prioritize people's livelihoods and promote balanced regional development.

首尔，9月7日（韩联社）——执政党共同民主党（DP）党首周一呼吁加强韩国的独立安全能力，并指出对朝鲜核武器计划采取“先冻结后发展”策略的可能性正在增加。
金珉锡议员在向国会发表的施政演说中呼吁，首尔方面需要促进美朝对话，同时积极应对两国关系可能出现的变化。
金正恩表示：“考虑到美国和朝鲜的关系有可能取得巨大改善，而且如果朝鲜核问题上有可能采取‘先冻结后解决’的做法，韩国必须提前加强其独立安全能力。”
金正恩补充说：“韩国完全依赖美国的日子已经结束了。”他指出，华盛顿选择成为“一个强硬的谈判伙伴，而不是一个慷慨的大哥”。
金正恩还表示，首尔应该考虑是否可以利用朝鲜领导人金正恩的“两国方案”来促进和平共处，而不是完全否定它。
在国内问题上，金正恩承诺推动修改宪法，以反映民意，同时誓言优先考虑民生，促进区域均衡发展。
