North Korea seeks diplomatic relations with the US thumbnail

Tarif Haque, newshoursbd, Dhaka:

North Korea said in a statement on Friday that it wants to end its “hostile relationship” with the United States, and that it seeks to focus on
six-party talks with the west. The statement released by major state run news outlets, said that the North is committed to “a lasting peace system
The Korean Peninsula has been split into North and South Korea since the Korean war, which ended in 1953 with a cease-fire agreement. The
war between US led United Nations forces from the south and North Korean and Chinese forces.
North Korea has been hit with sanctions since its nuclear test in May of 2009. The sanctions hurt the North’s already struggling economy.
An expert on North Korean-US relations, B.R. Myers from Dongseo University, said that “North has absolutely no interest in normalizing relations

America, they will ask themselves why they need a ‘military first’ policy.” The nations leader Kim Jong-il said along with the statements, “When
the people’s living standards are decisively improved, hooray for socialism and singing of Ari-rang of prosperity can ring out louder across the
country and the gate to a prosperous nation be opened.”
