Breaking the impasse since the breakdown of the second North Korea, U.S. summit in Hanoi in February, nuclear officials from the two sides are expected to meet for the first time later today in Stockholm for preliminary talks... which will be followed by an official working-level talks on Saturday, October 5th.
What can we expect from this meeting? Progress? If so, do we expect both sides to have brought new proposals for each other? Joining me live via skype from Washington, D.C. for some analysis is Scott Snyder, Senior Fellow at Council on Foreign Relations.
Scott, good to see you again.
Now, before we talk about what will be discussed at the talks and what we expect the negotiators to have brought to the table, I want to talk about North Korea's sea-launched ballistic missile just a few days ago. What do you make of this?
Heading to the talks, North Korea's chief negotiator said there's been a new signal from the U.S. side, so they're going with great expectations and optimism about the outcome
