"At the top of the agenda, however, in order to remove all unnecessary obstacles to progress, is the establishment of a peace treaty to replace the truce that has been in place since 1953. One of the things that have bedeviled all talks until now is the unresolved status of the Korean War.... Absent such a peace treaty, every dispute presents afresh the question of the other side's legitimacy."

"Pyongyang won't give up its nukes until it's sure Washington has permanently abandoned its hostile policies, and mutual trust has been established by establishing diplomatic relations and striking a peace agreement that formally ends the Korean War."
