“We’ve said before the disappearance [of North Korean submarines] is a source of concern, and the fact is they are not easy to detect when they are submerged under water”, Kim said.

Robert Kelly, an associate professor of political science and diplomacy at Pusan National University in South Korea, reportedly stated that the talks were used as an opportunity for North Korea to save face, according to USA Today. “But if you can cut the China link, North Korea has nowhere left to go”.
The accord included an agreement to hold the reunions of families split during the 1950-53 Korean War. “The joint statement that was announced after the emergency high-level talks between North and South Korea was an important turning point that resolved a critical state of military tensions and brought inter-Korean relations out of a dilemma and set them on the path toward trust and reconciliation”.
This is why some experts predict that the North will be rather passive in mending fences in the near future, as more exchanges between the two Koreas is a highly sensitive issue for North Korea, which puts the stability of the regime ahead of anything else.

“The Secretary reaffirmed our continuing close coordination with the ROK on North Korea, expressed appreciation for the ROK’s contributions to addressing global challenges, and welcomed future opportunities to deepen the U.S.-ROK global partnership”, the official said.
