The North Korean nuclear issue had been dormant since Geneva Agreement between North Korea and U.S in 1994 before North Korea's official confirmation of nuclear bomb development program which was based on uranium in October, 2002. The conflict over North Korean nuclear program is escalated into critical stage by North Korea's nuclear bomb test.
Now, weapons of mass destruction, human rights in North Korea, the Banco Delta issue are three main questions pending between North Korea and America which are interwoven one another. The Banco Delta issue, U.S. financial sanction on North Korea can be taken as a policy instrument for bring North Korea to negotiation table. The prospect for relationship between North Korea and U.S would be determined by the way of resolving the three pending issues.
American hard line policy toward North Korea which intended to bring about North Korea's submission have deepened the confrontation between the two countries. Continuation of American hard line policy toward North Korea would be led to the break-down of six party talks, which would disrupt the stability of Korean peninsular. Recent reappearance of the issue of peace agreement in Korean peninsular indicates that U.S acknowledge the necessity of incentives for North Korea to resolve North Korean nuclear issue.
The current situation that friendly environment for North Korea's return to six party talks is prepared is a good news for he peace and stability of Korean peninsular. Resumption of six party talks would be an occasion of great importance for discussing the transformation of Korean Armistice Agreement into Peace Agreement of Korean peninsular.
