Exactly two decades after the late leaders of South and North Korea, Kim Dae-jung and Kim Jong-il unveiled a joint declaration after the first-ever summit between the two Koreas.
Let's delve deeper for some analysis and forecast.
Joining us live from D.C. is Keith Luse, executive director of the National Committee on North Korea.
Keith has also served as staff member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for East Asia.
Keith, thanks for joining us.

What are you reading into such threats by North Korea around the two year anniversary of the Kim, Trump Singapore Summit and the June 15 Joint Declaration between Late South Korean leader Kim Dae-jung and Late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il?

Where does this leave President Moon and his administration which has been seeking breakthroughs to improve fraying inter-Korean ties and build peace on the Korean Peninsula?
He appears to be left with little policymaking latitude?

What will it take for inter-Korean relations and or North Korea, U.S. denuclearization talks to pick up the momentum?

Keith Luse, executive director of the National Committee on North Korea, thanks for speaking with us this evening. We appreciate it.
