Donald Trump-Kim Jong-un meet in Vietnam: World awaiting concrete steps for denuclearisation of Korean Peninsula

Firstpost  

While Kim Jong-un appears committed for a denuclearisation process, there have been disagreements over what that actually means. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has appeared to lower US expectations for the summit by saying that he would be happy if Pyongyang’s pause in nuclear and missile testing continued The Donald Trump-Kim Jong-un summit in Vietnam has been much talked about, but it remains to be seen whether the US president can persuade the North Korean leader to give up his nuclear arsenal — or at least scale it back — in return for economic and diplomatic rewards. According to Foreign Policy magazine, a series of reports have indicated little progress on elimination of North Korea’s nuclear weapons in advance of the Hanoi meeting. Speaking to Al Jazeera, Kab-Woo Ko, a political science professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, earlier said how Pyongyang “needs to secure economic, political and diplomatic benefits from this summit ”. But unlike North Korea, Vietnam learned long ago to make its mark on the world map through economic reforms.
