North Korea 'committed to disarmament talks'

North Korea's Leader Kim Jong-il committed to end the North Korea's nuclear program. Kim Jong-il secretely arrived in Beijing and met with Chinese President Hu Jintao on Monday. Kim said to the Chinese President, "North Korea is willing to work with you to create favourable conditions for a resumption of the six-party talks." He committed to end North Korea's nuclear program. The six-party negotiations to end North Korea's nuclear plan are hosted in China: the two Koreas, Japan, US, and Russia are involved in it. North Korea quit the talks in 2009, but now he is willing to join again. In answer to that, China promised to support North Korea's economic development and improving livelihood.

Today, I think the only trading partner North Korea has is China. That means China would be the only country that Kim Jong-il might rely on. Possibly, the leader of China could suggest Kim to stop his nuclear ambitions. I don't think any other countries can change Kim's idea of nuclear plans, because most countries are North Korea's enemy. However, China can make the difference. This time it was only his nuclear plan and six-party negotiations, but he can then further lead North Korea to internationally involve with other countries. I think it is in Hu Jintao's hands for the world's peace in the future, and that this meet in Beijing can be the first step to peace.
