We have reached our final question, for the moment, which is ; what is Japan going to do with the DPRK?
This question has already been taken care of by the 2002 Declaration at Pyongyang of Japan's PM Koizumi and Korea's General Secretary Kim(the present Chairman's father), which aims at the normalization of the relations between the two. But that has not been followed so far.
The reasons are obvious and we do not have to repeat them here. But, needless to say, the transformation of the Ceasefire into the Peace Treaty, coupled with a new politico-diplomatic superstructure will greatly change the atmosphere. The remaining problem is the political will on the part of the Japanese. We should at least start probing/sounding them as quickly as possible. On what? Investment in the grass-root basic infrastructure and public health plus compensation will take precedence. For that, both sides should open a small diplomatic office in each other's capital city for intense negotiation and to set a timetable, say for two years.
