We saw the two Korean leaders wrap up their official summit talks in Pyeongyang on Wednesday,... and announce the main agreements that were reached.<br />To get some analysis, we connect to Mark P. Barry,... an independent Asian affairs analyst who has followed U.S. - North Korea relations for the past 28 years. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Barry.<br /><br />So... the statement made by the two leaders is under heavy scrutiny,... especially after many experts cited a lack of specific details and concrete measures after the first inter-Korean summit this year,... and after the subsequent meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un. <br />What kind of agreement were you hoping to see,... and are you satisfied with the outcome?<br /> <br />Denuclearization and reducing military tensions were some of the core agendas for the summit. What do you think of the results, on these fronts?<br /> <br />Also, we're curious to hear what you made of the summit as a whole,... compared to the previous inter-Korean summits held in Pyeongyang in 2000 and 2007. Was it just a facade, as some critics claim,... or do you think it was a genuine step in the right direction?<br /> <br />It was President Moon's aim to mediate and accelerate dialogue between Washington and Pyeongyang. Do you think this summit will help advance denuclearization talks? Will we see a second U.S.-North Korea summit by the end of this year?<br /><br />Mark P. Barry, Associate Editor of International Journal on World Peace,... thank you for your insights. <br />
