Dear Friend,
Close to 80% of people in both Korea and United States regard upcoming peace talks positively. This week I start with Professor David Kang's
(USC) op-ed piece as the theme of my updates: ¡°Both North and South Korea have approached the summit in a careful manner." Indeed, they have. Let's keep the momentum and set the upcoming peace talks up for success!

The upcoming summit between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will be more important than any meeting between Kim and US President Donald Trump that may follow. Not only will a South–North summit actually happen, it will directly affect a possible Trump–Kim summit. Both North and South Korea are methodically preparing for their meeting, and the North has already made tangible concessions to the South. But US media has been focused overwhelmingly on the Trump–Kim summit — asking whether it will actually happen, where it would happen and how the abrupt arrival and departure of key foreign policy advisors in the US administration could affect Trump¡¦.Both North and South Korea have approached the summit in a careful manner. Although it is a common trope to call Kim Jong-un ¡®crazy¡¯ and ¡®erratic¡¯, his actions in 2017 reveal a methodical, deliberate leader.

9. North Korea reportedly makes specific denuclearization proposal during working-level talks with US. Hankyoreh
On Apr. 11, multiple sources in Washington, D.C. who are familiar with the current state of North Korea and the US discussion about the summit said that during a recent meeting with the US, North Korea asked the US to remove its nuclear and strategic assets from South Korea, stop the deployment of nuclear and strategic assets during joint military exercises with the South, guarantee that it will not make a conventional or nuclear attack, convert the armistice agreement into a peace treaty and normalize diplomatic relations.
During this meeting, North Korea reportedly did not ask for the withdrawal of American troops from the Korean Peninsula and indicated that it would not do so in the future either if the security of its regime was guaranteed. The prediction has been made in some quarters that the North would ask for the removal of American troops as a way to guarantee the regime¡¯s security. http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_northkorea/840509.html

12. The New York Times. Trump, Kim Summit May Boost Recovery of US Korea War Remains.
Nearly 7,800 U.S. troops remain unaccounted for from the Korean War. About 5,300 were lost in North Korea. "Hopefully, the North Koreans will turn over some remains as a goodwill gesture before the summit," said Bill Richardson, a former U.N. ambassador and New Mexico governor who secured the return of six sets of remains from North Korea in 2007. "This would help enormously to diffuse some tension."
