(News Desk)Finally, some good news from Korean peninsula as South Korea has accepted the proposal of talks which was put forward by North Korea. This is first inter-governmental contact between the two sides after August when both sides singed truce agreement after lots of diplomatic efforts.
According to media reports, South Korea did send proposals, in September and October, for continuation of talks which were supposed to be the follow-up of earlier meeting of both sides in August.
August Agreement is critical because this is first treaty between the two states after March 2013, when North Korea announced to scrap all non-aggression treaties and agreements with South Korea.
"We have accepted", an official of Unification Ministry of South Korea told media in Seoul.
Experts believe that it is isolation of North Korea in the region which has forced Pyongyang to revisit her aggressive posturing, towards South Asia, after Seoul pulled smart foreign policy maneuvers in the last two months.
Seoul placed itself closer to Pyongyang's main diplomatic and economic ally China, and improved her strained relations with Tokyo as well.
Earlier this month, the leaders of South Korea, China and Japan held their first summit for more than three years in Seoul.
Relations with Beijing are critical for the North Korea as it is already under the UN sanctions over Pyongyang's nuclear program. And, now China along with South Korea and Japan has made it clear that nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is something Beijing cannot approve. The message was loud and was listened well in by North Korea's powerful National Defence Commission and hence triggered this counter proposal to Seoul which has been now accepted.
