Inter-Korean diplomat set to visit Seoul

In a stroke of random initiative, UN diplomat to the inter-Korean relations Marzuki Darusman is set to arrive in the capital of South Korea on a fact finding mission in order to discover a way to ease the tensions that exist between the Korean rivals. Darusman has been given a 1-year mandate in order to discover the issues plaguing inter-Korean relations and is showing some great initiative as an envoy of the UN. Now what's most interesting is that although North Korea has stated many times that their primary focus is peace in the region and only engage with force when forced; the hermit kingdom has thus far refused every request from Darusman to enter the Northern regions of the peninsula and as such Darusman will now be left with a strictly Southern viewpoint during his visit to the peninsula. I find it strange that a country that claims to seek peace would refuse access to the diplomat who's job it is to ensure peace in the region. Perhaps Kim Jung-Un is unwilling to share the responsibility with outsiders and he wishes to resolve the issue amongst fellow Koreans? Clearly Kim Jung-Un's desire to have peace achieved solely amongst Koreans has proven unsuccessful so I would definitely implore the North Koreans to allow Darusman into their country so that he might hear about the issue from their point of view. With a little luck we will continue to hear about Darusman and his crusade for peace in the near future and before his mandate is up he will have a few suggestions to at least reduce tensions between the two Korean nations.
