On August 28-30 in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, there would be the two Korea's second -ever summit and almost every Korean people are excited about the upcoming national event. The second summit is aimed at raising relations between the two nations. The summit will raise South-North relations and open a new stage of peace, joint prosperity and unification on the Korean peninsula.

Korea is the only one existing country who has been divided into two nations in the world. This summit is going to be the second in seven years between the two nations. I remember the first North and South Korea summit in 2000. Even though there was not much changes in the relations between two nations after the first summit, I would not give up hoping about the changegs thsi summit could possibly bring about. Yet, some of doubts came up to me like why the North Korea has agreed to hold summit talks with a South Korean government. I thought about possible answers to North Korea's agreement on this second summit talks. And then I assume it as one way of North Korea's politic strategy. North Korea has been seeking normalization of relationship with Washington. North Korea government agreed to have a summit talks with South Korea not because of their genuine desire to deepening the relatinos, but to use and play in international arena. North Korea might have recongnized that an inter-Korean summit could help improve its hostile relationship with the United States.
