North and South Korean officials sat down Thursday for rare talks aimed at paving the way for a sustainable high-level dialogue that has constantly eluded the two rivals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The meeting at the border truce village of Panmunjom began shortly before 1:00pm (0400 GMT) and marked the first inter-governmental interaction since August when the two sides met to defuse a crisis that had pushed them to the brink of an armed conflict.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That meeting ended with a joint agreement that included a commitment to resume high-level talks, although no precise timeline was given.<\/p>\n<p>Although any dialogue between the two Koreas is generally welcomed as a step in the right direction, precedent offers little hope of a successful outcome.<\/p>\n<p>A similar effort back in June 2013 saw both sides agree to hold what would have been the first high-level dialogue for six years &#8212; only for Pyongyang to cancel a day before the scheduled meeting.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, it was a matter of protocol &#8212; the North felt insulted by the South&#8217;s nomination of a vice minister as its chief delegate &#8212; that smothered the initiative before it had even drawn breath.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8211; Devil in the details &#8211;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thursday&#8217;s talks in Panmunjom will try to avoid a repetition of that failure by thrashing out an agenda, a venue and such protocol issues as who should attend the full-fledged dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will do our best,&#8221; said Kim Ki-Woong, the head of the South Korean Unification Ministry&#8217;s special office for inter-Korean dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are resolved to maintaining the momentum for dialogue that was started by the August agreement,&#8221; Kim said before leaving Seoul for Panmunjom at the head of the three-member delegation.<\/p>\n<p>The start of the talks had been delayed by several hours due to a problem with the communication links that allow senior officials in Seoul and Pyongyang to monitor proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Likely topics for the eventual agenda include South Korea&#8217;s desire for regular reunions for families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War that cemented the division of the Korean peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>North Korea, meanwhile, will want to discuss the resumption of South Korean tour groups to its scenic Mount Kumgang resort.<\/p>\n<p>The tours, a source of badly needed hard currency for the cash-strapped North, were suspended by the South in 2008 after a female tourist was shot dead by a North Korean guard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The overall atmosphere for a successful conclusion of these talks is really not that favourable,&#8221; said Cheong Seong-Chang, an analyst with the Sejong Institute think tank in Seoul.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The two sides always find it hard to agree on the ranks of chief delegates to high-level talks, and there are a number of issues causing friction in cross-border ties at the moment,&#8221; Cheong said.<\/p>\n<p>He cited Pyongyang&#8217;s irritation with recent South Korean military exercises and Seoul&#8217;s participation in international moves to censure the North for human rights violations.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8211; Shifting diplomatic sands &#8211;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thursday&#8217;s talks come amid diplomatic shifts in the Northeast Asia region that have left North Korea looking more isolated than ever, with Seoul moving closer to Pyongyang&#8217;s main diplomatic and economic ally China, and improving strained relations with Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the leaders of South Korea, China and Japan held their first summit for more than three years in Seoul.<\/p>\n<p>Although the focus was on trade and other economic issues, the three declared their &#8220;firm opposition&#8221; to the development of nuclear weapons on the Korean peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>North Korea is already under a raft of UN sanctions imposed after its three nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013.<\/p>\n<p>South Korean President Park Geun-Hye recently reiterated her willingness to hold face-to-face talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un &#8212; but only if Pyongyang showed some commitment to abandoning its nuclear weapons programme.<\/p>\n<p>The two Koreas have held two summits in the past, one in 2000 and the second in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations is also understood to be in discussions with North Korea over a visit by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon &#8212; possibly before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Ban had been scheduled to visit in May this year, but Pyongyang withdrew the invitation at the last minute after he criticised a recent North Korean missile test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEOUL, Nov 26 &#8211;
