For an in－depth analysis of the significance of the two Korea′s family reunions， we
have Doctor James Kim from the...
Asan Institute for Policy Studies... joining us via Skype.
Thanks for joining us today.
Good to be here.
Could this mark the beginning... of a speed up in developments to other discussions regarding
inter－Korea ties，... like resuming Mount Kumgang tours....
And could more of these types of events... eventually
lead to
a summit？
One worrisome fact： the reunions will take place between October 20th and the 26th.
That′s 10 days after the North′s 70th anniversary... of founding of the ruling Workers′
Party many expect that during that period， Pyongyang could launch a rocket.
How much of a concern is there...
that this could hamper the family reunions？
China′s responded very positively to the latest developments in inter－Korean relations...
but if things go sour， will Beijing pull up its socks... and get actively involved
in persuading Pyongyang to stick to its word？
Thank you for your
time James.
