6:50 pm
agreed to work together to prevent another war and crucially to make their region nuclear free mcbride reports from seoul they hailed it as a new era for the korean people. and the south of the peninsula they share. a commitment to a denuclearized future was on monday and he agreed to make efforts to turn the korean peninsula into a land of peace without nuclear weapons and nuclear threats you know. the agreement means north korea will abolish some of its weapons development infrastructure under international verification under. the north has decided to permanently close the tom chang ri engine test sides and missile launches with the attendance of experts from relevant countries like the agreement also says north korea will close the young beyond uclear facility that's being key to its weapons development but only if the us reciprocates with concessions of its own that sounds like the kind of
6:51 pm
phase denuclearization rejected by more hawkish figures in washington who demanded north korea dismantles its nuclear program unconditionally and there is still no sign of a full inventory of what weapons the north has or a timetable for when it will give them up in spite of the smiles it's far from certain south korean officials have got enough from this summit to restart talks between the north and the us does not mention weapons or fissile material other things and the same thing with delivery systems they offered to close and dismantle a launch pad at a space launch facility but they say nothing about all of their mobile launchers and their submarine launch ballistic missile program for example but this summit has marked a new high into korean relations the military signed an agreement to defuse tensions along the heavily fortified demilitarized zone that separates the two
6:52 pm
koreas by removing guard posts and disarming soldiers who face off against each other between the blue huts of the panmunjom troops village. and kim jong un could become the first north korean leader to visit so. both sides appear to be committed to closer relations whether that can continue will depend in part on the reaction of their asian neighbors and the level of watchful united states bride al-jazeera so. are listening to leonard petrof he's a korean studies lecturing researcher at the australian national university he's joining us live now from sydney and i'm just wondering what your impression then is of the deals that have been signed and perhaps some of the things that have been a message how far forward do you think that this this summit has brought the relationship between north and south since ational i think it's
6:53 pm
a major step forward not only in her career in reconciliation but also in building strong and continuing peace in northeast asia which is a really problematic region where peace agreements haven't been signed since the end of world war two russia and japan don't have the peace treaty china and republic of china and taiwan still at all and now the most important historic agreement between north and south korea to end the war in fact there's not going to be more hostilities that's what president and chairman i can join in just to get you to withdraw troops eighty kilometers away from the demilitarized zone indeed you can you can see and it's almost palpable isn't it the increasing wealth between the two but how far really real terms can north and south korea proceed with their increasingly close relationship without the approval of the united
6:54 pm
states i mean for instance can they officially. announce the end of the war between the two without the us involvement. well yes indeed the seventy years of conflict saw the constant involvement of the united states on one side and the united. on the other no more of the uses for the last twenty five years and now the u.s. policy in east asia is also crumbling so that's why i think that the boldness of a president who is now walking a very thin line between the cooperation and security alliance with the united states on one hand and also potentially breaching the international security council resolution on sanctions against north korea by linking the into korean railway by investing money into north korean developmental projects and by
6:55 pm
extending the hand helpful hand to brothers and sisters in the north it's something we're. south koreans have been discussing for for too long and i think that for about ten years of been wasted after the discontinuation of the sunshine policy so it looks like we'll even again in the year a of unconditional help towards the divided families and the humanitarian issues like human rights issues i believe are going to be improved significantly since the life in north korea is going to benefit from the sort of connection to the developed countries develop world of north east asia but what about the commitments that have been made in these agreements during this summit i mean they seem to be a long way away from c.v. at complete verifiable irreversible denuclearization which is what is required by the united states. well what is complete and
6:56 pm
what is irreversible in our world that's a very philosophical question so the important thing there is no war and if there is no war on the peninsula it means there's no need for nuclear weapons there's no need for confrontation and this is the most important thing which i believe keep him from and. we for a president trump actually emphasized in june that the firm and continuing peace in korea is the also tolkin of stability in northeast asia japan is now not going to be disturbed by north korean launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles because one of their launching pads is now going going to be destroyed a few months ago north koreans destroy the testing site for the nuclear weapons there's no need for these weapons of mass destruction and this is most important because if you will come next when yongbyon nuclear facility in north korea is going to be destroyed if of course united states demonstrates reciprocal approach
