Nuclear talks set to resume in the Pacific

In a surprising show of diplomacy, North Korea has recently requested the resumption of nuclear demilitarization in the pacific. With this news, United States envoy to North Korea Glyn Davies prepares himself to enter the fray for the first time since the Hermit Kingdom abandoned the talks back in 2009. With North Korea's involvement in the world economy slowly expanding and their increased trade with outside countries, North Korea appears to be reaching out in an effort to join the rest of the world. US analysts have stated that this would be a great opportunity and quite surprisingly, North Korea agrees. These delegations are in conjunction with the US, North Korea, China, South Korea and Japan. These talks are hoped to bring about a mutual peace between the four and will hopefully put the tension in the Pacific to rest. On a more realistic note, I do not believe that these talks will yield much in the way of results simply because South Korea is still quite hostile towards the North (with good reason) and as the US is a longstanding ally of the South Koreans, they will not likely become too friendly with the North. However, should these talks prove to be more than just a show, then the Pacific and Asia as a whole will undoubtedly benefit greatly. Instability in this region of the world has been nearly as consistent at the middle east at this point and I would be very happy to see some form of stabilized peace in my lifetime.
