Skype interview with Mark P. Barry

  • 5 years ago
So a historical moment indeed that we witnessed this afternoon at the DMZ,... which was closely watched by observers around the world.
Leaders of South Kore and the U.S. have confirmed that working-level talks will resume,... but will it lead to concrete progress on denuclearization talks?
We connect to Mark P.Barry, Associate Editor of the International Journal on World Peace for more clues.
Thank you for joining us, and we apologize for keeping you wait for too long. We know you've stayed up all night in New York, watching this historic handshake take place in the DMZ.

1. After his hour-long talks with Kim Jong-un, Trump said there will be teams from both sides working together for the next two to three weeks. What do you think will be their top agendas, and what kind of progress can we anticipate?



2. This unprecedented exchange between the North Korean and U.S. leaders was certainly great for optics. We saw them shaking hands multiple times and smiling, while commending each other profusely. Does this friendly meeting indicate the two sides may be more willing to make more concessions in their denuclearization talks?



3. Trump confirmed that he has invited Kim Jong-un to visit the U.S. When do you see an official third summit happening between them?



4. The focal point today, as President Moon said,... was the meeting of the North Korean and U.S. leaders. However, Moon also said, inter-Korean talks are set to resume thereafter. What kind of role do you see for South Korean leader to help further drive the progress?
