A joint agreement guaranteeing a nuclear-free Korean peninsula, a formal end to the Korean War and a copper-bottomed guarantee of no invasion of North Korea by the US or its surrogates is certainly worth talking about.

It would meet the needs of the Korean people and could open the way to national reunification, which the vast majority of Koreans want.
