Jimmy Carter: What I’ve Learned from North Korea’s Leaders

9 Oct 2017
4 Oct 2017 – Over more than 20 years, I have spent many hours in discussions with top North Korean officials and private citizens during visits to Pyongyang and to the countryside. I found Kim Il Sung, Kim Yong Nam and other leaders to be both completely rational and dedicated to the preservation of their regime… The next step should be for the USA to offer to send a high-level delegation to Pyongyang for peace talks or to support an international conference including North and South Korea, the United States and China, at a mutually acceptable site.

This is a decisive moment. Under the auspices of the Egyptian government, Palestine’s two major political movements — Fatah and Hamas — are signing a reconciliation agreement on Wednesday [4 May 2011] that will permit both to contest elections for the presidency and legislature within a year.
