North Korea, known as the “Hermit Kingdom”, has been built on the foundation of Juche principle, which means self-reliance. Since long time, it has distanced itself from the rest of the world. But from the Indian perspective, engaging with North Korea would be a calculated move that might support New Delhi’s great power ambitions in the East Asia region.

| Summary/Abstract |
While the hope remains that things will be different in Korean Peninsula after the Singapore Summit, the reality is that it’s better not to raise hopes too high to become disappointed in any unforeseen eventuality. In the present scenario it seems that both Pyongyang and Seoul too have realized the absolute futility of their continuing hostility and legacy of perpetuating conflict. Hence, they appear to be coming together with a view to establish peace, prosperity and security of not only their own countrymen but also of the peace-loving humanity all over the world.

Denuclearization has long been a bargaining chip for North Koreans in times of economic desperation. It has been one of the primary arcs of contention in diplomatic discussions vis ‘a vis North Korea and the US. The term has been exhausted in recent times with the symbolic summit between President Trump and Leader Kim Jong Un to emancipate the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons.

Some called it an “ideological war” between Communist and non-Communist blocs, some others called it a war of “innocent Koreas”. What emerged to be the goriest war after World War II commenced on June 25, 1950, with the North allegedly attacking the South, resulting in the death of more than 2.5 million people in the course of the war? The fallout of the war still persists over the Korean peninsula, and war clouds still loom over the region.

Relation is a meandrous concept. It neither maintains any static conditions nor it provides any static nature. It changes with the change of time and space. Today’s friend may be tomorrow’s foe or vice-versa. This paper tries to lay bare historically the two sovereign Korean countries’ political, economic, military and security aspects, as well as the strained Inter-Korean relations, question of re-unification, and new aspiration of unification, which was once a unified nation, under one flag with single political entity, sharing common culture, history, norms, ethnicity, and language.

For any perceptive observer of Korea-India relations, it is difficult to miss the momentum and the upward trends that have set in bilateral relations between the two countries over the past few decades. Beginning with the centuries-old kinship and cultural ties and underpinned by modern-day economic and strategic imperative, the relations between the two counties have traversed a long course, setting new milestones. From a comprehensive economic partnership, Korea and India upgraded their ties to a strategic partnership in 2010 and then to a special strategic partnership in 2015.

| Summary/Abstract |
Korean Peninsula has been one of the most potentially volatile and dangerous regions since World War II. At the same time while South Korea made tremendous economic progress under the American shadow following the “flying geese” pattern, North Koreans achieved the nuclear edge and exceptional missile launch capability, mostly through clandestine means much to the chagrin of the regional and extra regional powers especially Japan, South Korea and USA as it had balked on the Non Proliferation Treaty and hence became a threat to the allies and the Hyper Power itself.

Thus, the engagement between the two Korea’s and between North Korea and America, has made the international community believe that there can be a practicable solution that can be reached to provide some stability to the region. However, if one critically analyses, the turn of events one sees that North Korea has been able to manipulate America into first of all recognizing North Korea as a nation in East Asia, ridding it of its ‘Rogue status’. Secondly, North Korea has been able to achieve an equal platform in negotiating with the US on issues that concern it like sanctions.

The current geostrategic imbroglio in Northeast Asia in general and Korean peninsula in particular is the most enduring bout of the Cold War. In pursuit of peace, seven decades ever since the Korean War of 1950s, no tangible outcome could be achieved. Caught between powerful demagogues (USA, China, Russia, Japan, and South Korea) with their own conflicting agendas, along with North Korea’s own sense of ‘small country’ and its authoritarian ruler’s fear of regime ouster by USA, Pyongyang took refuge of nuclear deterrence.

The path to Singapore Summit is very much historic but the road is not very untrodden. In International relations, building trust and confidence and reducing animosity can be achieved either through an institutional means called CBMs or through an active diplomacy. The success of Helsinki (between US-USSR and European state institutionalized CBMs in 1975)) experience has been tested in different region and Korean peninsula is not an exception.
