The 21th reconciliation talk between North and South is being held in Seoul beginning May 29. However, as both sides are demanding something that their counterpart might hesitate to do, there is a possibility that the talks could soon plunge into stalemate. The North continuously demanded the South of its promised rice shipment to the North while South Korea decided to postpone this aid responding to the wide international concerns toward the North’s missile tests and North Korea's refusal to start dismantling its nuclear programs.
