All Together Now...
It might be wishful thinking, but when Pyongyang is involved, that luxury can turn to disappointment.
The two-pronged approach grew out of an agreement reached by Pyongyang and Washington in Singapore on April 8. Unlike the North's production of plutonium, whose existence is acknowledged by both the North and the United States, the two countries differ on the existence of highly-enriched uranium being produced by the North and the North's proliferation activities.
The establishment of a system for monitoring the North's activities, in particular, seems to be a strategic attempt to ease tensions via diplomatic compromise and block nuclear activity by North Korea in the future, rather than a resolution of the nuclear issue that continues to focus on past activities.
ACW's James Acton acknowledges this, and is not taking sides. Which, BTW,is what the members of the Six-Party process should remember.
