Speaking to reporters at the forum, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi said he hoped North and South Korea could improve relations, and that he felt that North Korea's foreign minister did not entirely reject proposals voiced by his South Korean counterpart.
"We also support the positive proposals put forward by the new (South Korean) government. We are ready to see the North and South resume contacts soon," Wang said.
"When the conditions are right then we can sit and have a dialogue around the future of North Korea so they feel secure and prosper economically," Tillerson told reporters at the same regional security meeting.

Looks like it is not entirely impossible for N Korea to sit down and hold dialogue.
Just wonder what is holding back N Korea to sit down and hold meaningful dialogue to defuse the Korean Peninsula crisis?

The longer N Korea hold back from meaningful dialogue - the more likely N Korea will misread the situation and if N Korea mis-step such as carry out nuclear tests or more missile tests - may invite US to attack it.

Only holding dialogues early will help to defuse the crisis.

All parties are willing to hold dialogue - only N Korea is holding back.
And ironically N Korea will be the most vulnerable if conflict breaks out.

Wonder why N Korea is not seizing the opportunity to hold dialogue to save itself?
