Let's get an expert's take on the upcoming inter-Korean summit and North Korea's apparent decision to make so many concessions to South Korea and the United States.<br />Joining us on the line is Professor Kim Hyun-wook from the Korea National Diplomatic Academy in Seoul.<br /> <br /> <br /> 1. I'd like to start with Pyongyang's motives. Does this move by North Korea signal a real sign of change or is it merely a ruse to buy more time to work on their nuclear and missile programs?<br /><br /> 2. With the reopening of dialogue with North Korea, many people are wondering if the intense international sanctions finally broke the regime and is forcing Kim Jong-un to the table. How big of an influence do you think sanctions had... and what financial rewards do you think the North will be looking for?<br /><br /> 3. President Moon Jae-in deserves a lot of credit for laying the groundwork for this summit. You could also say President Trump -- through his unusually strong rhetoric, unpredictability and policy of maximum pressure -- has helped as well. What are your thoughts on that. And,... if next month's summit goes well,... can you envision the possibility of President Trump holding talks with Kim Jong-un?<br /><br /> 4. Before, we let you go,... many people are feeling upbeat about these latest developments,... do you share the same sense of optimism?<br /><br />Thanks for your insights.<br />
