Seasoned analysts of the Korean Peninsula are sceptical about claims of breakthroughs in this part of the world. Despite three inter-Korean summits, several arms control agreements, and countless attempts to engage Pyongyang in structured dialogue, the strike radius of North Korea’s weapons of mass destruction continues to steadily expand.<\/p>\n

To be sure, the Trump-Kim\u00a0summit in Singapore represents a significant milestone<\/a>\u00a0in the relationship between Washington and Pyongyang. The summit has the potential to redefine security on the Korean peninsula by laying the groundwork for a formal peace treaty to replace the 1953 UN armistice agreement. This would be something truly special for ordinary Koreans who have lived for nearly 70 years with the threat of a second Korean War.<\/p>\n
