on cross-border railways and roads. But without substantive progress in nuclear negotiations and on sanctions relief, these inter-Korean projects will likely go nowhere.Koh yu-hwan, a professor of political science at Dongguk University, said Seoul was trying to keep diplomacy alive “even if the prospect of the North and the U.S. reaching a compromise in the foreseeable future does not look bright”.
“Seoul’s idea is that the North and the U.S. reach a compromise in which Pyongyang implements a complete denuclearization phased in a couple of steps rather than at one stroke,” he said.criticised the North Korean side for not being “willing to do what they needed to do” to reach a deal, while also mooting the possibility of China being involved in future talks.
