Can North Korea be the Next?

            Recently, the United States and Cuba started working to re-establish their diplomatic relations. It seems that this initiative leads to looser economic sanctions and more foreign investment in Cuba.

            When I was looking at this news, I was thinking of Japan and North Korea. North Korea abducted several Japanese people over the decades. Some of them already died and some of them may be alive. We don`t know.

            If North Korea discharges these Japanese people, Japan can start re-establishing its diplomacy with North Korea. North Korea is economically, politically and socially isolated. Thus, it is crucial for North Korea to establish relations with neighboring countries other than China. I think it will take more than a decade to loosen the tensions between Japan and North Korea, but there has to be a different approach which both of countries should take.
