The only reason N. Korea wants to talk to S. Korea is because they want to participate in the Olympics this year. Un offered to ease up on his military stance if N.Korea was able to participate. No, I don't think he's looking for peace. If he was, then why did he talk about his nuke button in the same speech?
South Korea Proposes Border Talks With North Korea After Kim’s Overture
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea on Tuesday responded to an overture from the North and proposed holding high-level talks between the countries on their border next week.
North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, had suggested on Monday that the countries open dialogue on easing military tensions and on the possibility of the North’s participating in the Winter Olympics in the South, even as he noted that he now had a “nuclear button” on his desk.
Bullshit. You lefties have no clue. Just the other day it was shown how NK is letting it's soldiers loot crops so they can eat.
I posted the link, I posted the relevant part of the article, yet you continue to ignore the information presented. Well, I guess it's true, you can lead an idiot to knowledge, but you can't make them think.
Get a clue. Linking to the NY Times is the same as linking to a NK government press release.
You really are quite the 'tard. EVERY news agency is running the same story, that N. Korea says they are interested in participating in the Olympics.
Here's what the BBC is saying.....................
South Korea offers North Olympics talks
South Korea has offered high-level talks with North Korea next Tuesday to discuss its possible participation in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games.
The North's leader, Kim Jong-un, said earlier he was considering sending a team to Pyeongchang in South Korea for the Games in February.
He said the two sides should "urgently meet to discuss the possibility".
South Korea's president said he saw the offer as a "groundbreaking chance" to improve relations.
At a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Moon Jae-in also said the North's nuclear programme would be the backdrop of any sporting discussions.
Just because a news story doesn't fit your particular narrative, doesn't mean it's not true. Would you be happier if I posted a link from FOX?
You are talking about a different matter entirely. I was referring to the hot line used to prevent war between NK and SK.
Using CNN since you can't attack their slant:
Seoul (CNN)North Korea and South Korea established contact on a hotline that's been dormant for almost two years Wednesday, a major diplomatic breakthrough following a year of escalating hostility and a move that could pave the way for future talks.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un gave the order to open the line at 3:00 p.m local time (1:30 a.m. ET), according to an announcement on state media in the hours before the two phone calls to the South took place.
According to South Korea's Unification Ministry, the North Koreans made first contact at exactly the time ordered, and the sides were on the phone from 3:30 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. local time (South Korea is half an hour ahead of North Korea).
During the initial 20-minute connection, the two nations "checked technical issues of the communication line," according to a statement from South Korea's Unification Ministry.
The Unification Ministry said North Korea phoned for a second time several hours later on the Panmunjom hotline, suggesting the two sides wrap up business for the day.
"The North Korean side called our side at 6:07 p.m. (4.07 a.m. ET) and said 'let's call it a day today,'" the ministry confirmed.
Other than checking that the link-up was operational, it is unclear what was discussed.
A ministry spokeswoman told CNN that there was no mention of future talks or the Olympics.
