What to make of North Korea’s “peace offensive”?

NK News spoke to three South Korea-based experts about the prospect of improving inter-Korean relations

To gauge whether North Korea might be serious about improving relations with South Korea  in 2014, NK News spoke to leading experts Dr. Andrei Lankov,  Dr. Dean Ouellette and  Balazs Szalontai, three North Korea experts all based in South Korea.
