To delve deeper into what makes this summit unique and what must be done to live up to
growing expectations, we have Dr. BONG Young-shik, from the Yonsei Institute for North Korean
Studies joining us in the studio.
Welcome back Dr. Bong.
Good to be here.
First up, could you point out some of the key elements that set this summit apart from
the maiden one?
Aside from already being familiar with the process, the leaders will spend another day
together compared to the first summit.
Will this mean an expanded scope
of topics or more in-depth talks on a select few?
It was a top-down approah when it comes to getting ready for the second summit.
There were hiccups and setbacks along the way.
Does this work better for both sides?
What are some of the side effects of this approach?
How do you perceive the two sides making progress in improving bilateral ties and denuclearization?
Will this round of talks provide a turning point and a needed jolt forward?
What would qualify as
a
successful meeting, or at
the very least, a more productive one than
the previous session?
Dr. Bong, thank you for your time today.
