North Korea is more willing than ever to denuclearize... but to encourage that, an end to the Korean War has to be declared.<br />This is what Seoul's Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon thinks when it comes to North Korea's denuclearization... as he spoke at a forum in Washington on Thursday.<br /><br />"If regime security or any other benefit in return is guaranteed, Kim Jong-un has a much stronger willingness than previous leaders to earn those instead, by giving up nuclear weapons."<br /><br />But the minister added... there needs to be a clear reason for North Korea to denuclearize like declaring an end to the Korean War, which he says, is only a political declaration.<br />He stressed sanctions will remain until there's real progress made on denuclearization... and Seoul has made it clear to Pyeongyang that inter-Korean economic cooperation can only proceed then.<br />Regarding North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's visit to South Korea promised at the inter-Korean summit in September...., Cho said... Kim's visit can happen within this year... and has to happen, as the two Koreas agreed to it. <br />
