NK Hopes for Improved Ties With South, US

North Korea started the New Year with a message that is seen by some as “not like the usual North Korea” that the world was accustomed to.

North Korea wants to stop its confrontation with the US, improve ties with South Korea, denuclearize the Korean penisula, improve the livlihood of its people.

The nation “remains consistent in its efforts to establish a lasting peace system on the Korean Peninsula and make it nuclear-free through dialogue and negotiations,” an editorial carried by the official Korean Central News Agency said.

I was surprised when I saw that article in the English newspaper. All I ever read were stories where the North was always giving out threats to the South. I always thought the north was hostile while the south wanted peace and reunification. Maybe there is hope for Korea to become a unified country someday.
