The Korea Herald

Promising start

The leaders of South and North Korea have reaffirmed their commitment to the complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula. Denuclearization is the key agenda item of the first-ever US-North Korea summit. The stipulation of the denuclearization commitment in the joint declaration issued after the inter-Korean summit can be viewed as a positive start to the establishment of peace on the peninsula. However, the joint declaration did not outline a specific denuclearization schedule, such as when they will complete denuclearization of the peninsula and how to do it, the agreement to seek international cooperation can be read positively.
