North and south korea are holding their first highlevel talks and more than two years the rare meeting is expected to focus on the norths participation in next months Winter Olympics and china was sold been enthusiastic about the talks but some are questioning whether they will lead to any Real Progress from reports from solve. This was the last formal face to face meeting between north and south korean officials in december two thousand and fifteen the two sides discussed reunions of families separated by the korean war and economic cooperation. That is make a good start and open the great path to reunification. Despite the initial optimism the talks broke down and in the two years since north korea has fired more than fourteen missiles and conducted three Nuclear Tests to v. S. E. Escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula but at the start of this year north Korean Leader kim jong un unexpectedly proposed dialogue with the south and. The focus of the discussions at the truce village of panmunjom will be on north koreas participation in the two thousand and eight Winter Olympics in south korea next month and on improving into korean ties the last time north korean athletes visited the south was for the asian games in two thousand and fourteen sporting events have been useful in providing diplomatic openings between the two koreas but ultimately led nowhere and some analysts are skeptical of north koreas true intentions this time. Because of the effectiveness of the economic sanctions you know suddenly finds the value of south korea as an alternative source of Financial Relief and using the pension on the Korean Peninsula as punishment for its Nuclear Weapons testing north korea has been subject to increasingly tighten sanctions including one that effectively slashes its petrol imports by ninety percent but kim has vowed to continue with his countrys Nuclear Program calling for the mass production and deployment of Nuclear Warheads and miss else alternately there is no guarantee that a north koreas peace offer incentives will continue northward north korea can easily make a sudden change of attitude after the end of the winter Olympic Games south korean officials are aware of that and preston when jay in his caution against too much but engagement with north Korea Remains the best option to easing tensions on the Korean Peninsula florence living aljazeera so. Joining us from seoul is our correspondent kathy novak who exactly is in these delegations and whats been happening so far. Well the two men on either side who are responsible for into korean relations are leading the five member delegation so you have the south Korean Unification minister and then his north korean counterpart their deputies and then representatives in charge of sports culture and the olympics and theyre in these talks now they open them it seemed to be a quite jovial and atmosphere is the kicked off you had the north korean representative saying that he hopes to give as a first president of the new year positive results out of these talks and show the unification minister from the south saying that the first step is half the journey so i think there is. Being seen and positively that these talks are going ahead at all because of course it has been about two years since there was any kind of official meeting between the north of the south and indeed almost as long as that since there have been any kind of communication at all the hotline at the border area has been shut down for more than a year so now the fact that these very senior representatives of either government are sitting down in the same room is being seen as very significant aaron and kathleen we know that the Winter Olympics is the platform for these talks but is the hope they could be expanded to take in missile launches and perhaps even u. N. Sanctions. I think in the long term and that would be south koreas goal and indeed the goal of japan the United States and other interested parties but for its part south koreas government really does want to start with this focus on the Winter Olympics and paralympics which are all only a month away because they really do want to see the north korean athletes participating to give a sign that this is the peace olympics event that they have been promoting it as and also to sort of just defuse tensions in general on the Korean Peninsula the thought being that if the north korean participants are here in south korea it is less likely perhaps that north korea would be conducting any missile or Nuclear Weapons testing jury in that period but as we heard in florence a story back there the skeptics do say that north korea may be trying to extract some kind of concessions from south korea perhaps financial concessions but then in the long term still refuse to talk about denuclearization and that is the fear on the part of some skeptics certainly in the United States and elsewhere derren got it thank you bill graham on webers from now on the young Technological University he says the talks could result in small compromises on both sides. I think we have to manage expectations about the talks that are going underway right now i mean certainly what needs to be discussed at some point in time i mean ideally at this very meeting theyre looking at is what stands at the heart of tensions which is the ongoing Nuclear WeaponsDevelopment Program by north korea but i think having said that if both sides cannot get something as simple as the Winter Olympics right i dont think they can get anything else right Going Forward so therefore just focusing on on the more reachable outcomes the low hanging fruits which would be to have north korea participate in the Winter Olympics and then to leverage on that on that positive outcome i think would be the best way to go about dealing with the discussions on the way i think the talks will set the tone for twenty eighteen as to how the tensions are going to be managed and possibly resolved by all parties chiefly between the north korean and south korean governments.
