North Korea has abstained from its usual rhetoric aimed at Seoul and Washington.<br />Oh Jung-hee tells us more.<br />No barbs and vitriol aimed at Seoul and Washington have come out of North Korea since Sunday,... when the leaders of the two Koreas and the U.S. met at the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjeom.<br />For three days since the historic encounter,... North Korean media outlets have not released any reports blasting Seoul and Washington.<br />On Wednesday,... North Korea's ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun released an op-ed calling for further efforts to achieve self-reliance and economic development.<br />But it did not use any strong language that condemned sanctions... and what it calls "U.S. imperialism"... like it used to.<br />Regarding the South, North Korean propaganda outlets released articles calling for peace on the Korean Peninsula... and implementation of inter-Korean summit declarations in earnest.<br />All this is in stark contrast... to what was seen in weeks prior to the DMZ encounter.<br />North Korea used many channels and platforms... to denounce South Korea and the U.S.,... even taking direct aim at President Moon Jae-in.<br />Analysts attributed the change in attitude... to the North's interest in showing its willingness... to match footsteps with Seoul and Washington on the dialogue path,... rejuvenated through the Panmunjeom meeting.<br />But there are also views... that Pyeongyang could continue urging the U.S. to change its stance,... and South Korea to play a more independent role... to make fundamental progress in the denuclearization talks.<br />Oh Jung-hee, Arirang News.<br />
