(Dan Tri) – North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s surprise visit to China and declaration of readiness for denuclearization seem to be calculated steps to prepare for the bilateral summit.

On his first foreign trip after 7 years as leader of North Korea, Mr. Kim Jong-un made a proposal to reduce tensions on the Korean Peninsula and not push the regional situation to a `cratch`.

“If South Korea and the United States show goodwill to our efforts and create an atmosphere of peace and stability and take synchronized measures in stages to achieve peace, then the

However, the Korean Central News Agency KCNA did not mention Mr. Kim’s commitment to denuclearization in the summary of his trip to China.

However, observers still believe that Mr. Kim’s statement represents a partial shift in North Korea’s tough attitude towards the nuclear issue over the years despite the concept of denuclearization between the US and North Korea.

Instead, North Korea may propose a peace treaty between the two Koreas to replace the agreement that has stipulated that the two sides have been technically at war for the past 60 years.
