However, similar to past North Korean demands, the demand for a nonaggression pact may be a diversionary tactic of the North in an attempt to exert influence over the overall direction of the nuclear talks, distract other parties from approaching the core of the nuclear issue, and maximize its gains.
Pyeongyang is likely to claim that there is no reason whatsoever for maintaining U.S. troops in South Korea now that Pyeongyang and Washington have promised not to use military force against each other.
In particular, Pyeongyang might argue that the Military Armistice Agreement is no longer be valid, and it is thus urgent for a peace agreement to be expeditiously concluded between North Korea and the United States.

Kim's recent visit is significant as well in that the North sought China's political and economic assistance to move forward with its North Korean-style reforms and open-door policy, as evidenced by such efforts as the "economic management improvement measures" announced in July 2002 and plans to develop Sinuiju into a special economic zone.
In light of these circumstances, Pyeongyang's reform and opening up efforts, such as plans to develop Sinuiju into a special economic zone, could receive a boost if they can be coordinated with Beijing's northeastern China development plans.
However, Pyeongyang's eventual success in regard to its reform efforts will be significantly influenced by the extent to which it can help to create favorable international conditions in and around the Korean peninsula.

Pyeongyang said it was willing to resolve the issue through talks and demanded a non-aggression treaty with Washington.
The statement effectively made public that the North was engaged in a program to enrich uranium for arms purposes and that it was willing to use it as a negotiating card.
Beijing would later support the U.S. position that the nuclear crisis was not a bilateral issue between Pyeongyang and Washington, but a multilateral problem concerning countries around the peninsula.

He is known as the grandson of the Lord of Heaven, founder of Korea's first Kingdom, a wise Shamanic ruler; he is said to have "retired as a Mountain-spirit", probably of Kuwol-san [Nine-Moons Mountain] SW of Pyeongyang, when Iron-Age Chinese culture conquered his kingdom around 1100 BCE.
Pyeongyang authorities have not yet allowed archeologists from South Korea or any other nation to inspect this site, so nothing claimed about it can be considered verified.

Pyeongyang has launched a large-scale crackdown on "anti-state activities" along its border with China, targeting not only border crossings by North Koreans, but the smuggling of Chinese goods and South Korean videotapes into the North, South Korean intelligence officials said yesterday.
In late November, the North's governing Workers' Party and law-enforcement authorities jointly dispatched at least four units of 80 investigators each to the border area, a senior South Korean intelligence official said.

But we cannot expect Pyeongyang to voluntarily acknowledge the severe conditions there and start respecting the human rights of its people without any international pressure.
If we turn away from the starvation and pain of North Koreans fearing Pyeongyang's rejection of inter-Korea talks, that is not a clever, realistic approach but a defeatist response based on a mistaken analysis of the situation.
Moreover, insisting that expressing our concerns about the human rights conditions in the North would threaten the system of North Korea and thus we should keep silent on the issue is like claiming that preservation of the Kim Jong-il regime is the ultimate purpose of South Korea's strategy.
