It seems North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was pretty pleased with the letter he received from President Trump... and the North's state-run media are putting a lot of emphasis on it.<br />Our Oh Jung-hee has more on the message Trump might've conveyed and the reasons why the North is reporting extensively about it. <br /> Excellent content that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was satisfied with... and will give serious thought to.<br />That's how the North's state media described President Trump's recent letter to Kim.<br />The Korean Central News Agency added... that Kim praised Trump's political judgement and extraordinary courage.<br /><br /> When and how the letter was delivered is not clear.<br />But it's likely this is a reply from Trump... for the letter he received from Kim on June 11th, marking one year since their historic first summit in Singapore.<br /><br /> During the past four months of deadlock in its nuclear talks with Washington, Pyeongyang has continuously called on the U.S. to change its calculations.<br />By revealing some of his positive comments, experts say... Kim Jong-un is expressing his will to restart dialogue with the U.S.<br /><br /> "Letters usually don't have detailed proposals. But through the letter, both sides are reaffirming their will to talk. The main issue here is to draw out a detailed agreement that couldn't be reached in Hanoi. The exchange of letters means there could soon be some high-level or working-level talks that could lead to a third summit between Kim and Trump."<br /><br /> The North is extensively reporting about Trump's letter, releasing reports not only through the Korean Central News Agency -- that's used to send external messages -- but also through the Rodong Sinmun and Korean Central Television, which target a domestic audience.<br /> Pundits say this is to show North Korean citizens the legitimacy of Kim Jong-un's policy choices, by highlighting his personal contacts with President Trump... in addition to the backing he received from Chinese President Xi Jinping last week during their summit in Pyeongyang.<br />Oh Jung-hee, Arirang News. <br />
