Korean War
A ceasefire was signed on 27th July, 1953. But the embers still smoulder. The two Koreas are technically at war to this day and North Korea's secretive (now a public knowledge) nuclear progamme not making things any easier. The group of six nations, USA, Japan, Russia, China, North and South Koreas, sat around the table to negotiate a way out of the current fiasco. However no party is confident of a breakthrough. The best outcome of this round of discussions, to quote one Chinese official, could be to decide a date for the second meeting. So much for optimism. In the US State department, the hawks are not too enthused about this latest overture to engage the 'rogue' elements as they see it as a sign weakness to cow down to the nuclear blackmail of the communist regime. Nevertheless, it is the only safe option at least for the time being.
