Q+A: Will talks breakthrough lower risk on Korean peninsula?
South Korea has agreed to a North Korean offer for high-level military talks, easing tensions on the peninsula and opening a way for a possible resumption of aid-for-disarmament negotiations with the North.
WHY IS NORTH KOREA PUSHING FOR A RESUMPTION OF TALKS?
The North has said it wants to let "bygone be bygones" and wants peace on the peninsula.
Analysts say the real reasons are it is coming under pressure from China and its economy is in a state of ruin. It needs aid particularly as leader Kim Jong-il seeks the support of political elite and the military as he prepares to hand over the leadership reigns to his youngest son.
