Last week President Lee Myung-bak of South Korea said he is reviewing the call for resumption published by North Korea’s state-run KNCA news agency a few days ago. This dialogue will be a valuable step that could be taken to calm tension between the north and the south. It expresses for both parties a deep wish for resolving and settling the grave situation prevailing in Korea and opening the door for a new kind of relations, that of peace and prosperity between the north and the south. This step was considered from public opinion as both patriotism and a good beginning.
Finally, the two sides resulted to hold working-level talks on January 27 and set up the ground for a meeting on February 1 to talk about economic ties.
