To enable US-N Korea summit talk to take place, only if the following conditions exist will then is possible to happen :-
(1) Both sides display and provide conducive environment by stopping hostilites activities, speech, actions - but display and do encouraging activites, speeches, actions.
(2) Look for Win-Win solutions
(3) Ability to emphatise
(4) Adopt "You are ok, I am ok" approach.

Refrain from :-
(1) Continue hostile or unfriendly activities, speeches, action.
(2) Win-lose solutions
(3) Unable to emphatise - one side always give but never take, one side always take but never give.
(4) adopt "I am ok, you are not ok - is ok to me and to you".
---- This will surely ensure summit will not take place.

The below opinion will still be useful.

Asia culture is one that start slow, build trust, build confidence, start with something that seems small, a small step, do something that seems unimportant - and slowly move into something that is of interest to both parties.

This is unlike Western culture that go straight into the main topic and want immediate result - that is still cold, very sensitive and still unyielding - and if things don't happen as expected - try to use high-hand tactics. This will not work for Asia culture.

Hence, let S Korea Leaders lead the way in this - as they understand N Korea culture better than anyone do.

"Exchange of Heart" 交心 - is the crux that may lead to breakthrough.
