The US military's new nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Ronald Reagan" arrived in Busan Port, South Korea on June 4 and will stay for five days, which triggered media speculation whether this was related to the shooting death of Korean tourists in North Korea. South Korean officials denied this suspicion.

Kim Yong-kyu, spokesman of the US military headquarters in South Yonhap News Agency, said in a telephone interview with South Korean reporters in Busan on June 4 that the arrival of the US aircraft carrier in Busan "had nothing to do with the death of tourists in Mount Kumgang".

He said: "The crew on the aircraft carrier need to go ashore for routine rest. This is an arrangement made before any accident happens. "

An official of the US military headquarters in South Korea, who asked not to be named, said: "We don't think the visit of this aircraft carrier will bring any political impact. We have not received any response from the North Korean government. "

A Korean female tourist 1 1 who traveled to Mount Kumgang in North Korea strayed into the military restricted area near the tourist area in the early morning and was shot and killed by North Korean soldiers. This incident affected inter-Korean relations. Yonhap News Agency said that the South Korean side condemned the shooting incident and asked North Korea to cooperate with the investigation; The North Korean side said that the responsibility for the accident was "entirely on the other side" and refused to cooperate with the investigation.

In addition, Jin Yongkui also denied that Ronald Reagan's visit was related to the upcoming joint military exercise between South Korea and the United States on August 18. He said, "Ronald Reagan will not participate in joint military exercises", and the crew will also participate in volunteer service activities in places such as the Rehabilitation Center for the Disabled during their stay in Busan.

Ronald Reagan is one of the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, which can carry 80 aircraft and 6000 crew members. The aircraft carrier went to South Korea to participate in a large-scale military exercise between the United States and South Korea in March last year, and was accused by the official North Korean media as a "provocative act".
