Recently, India succeeded in testing Anti-Satellite weapon.
India is the 4th country to accomplish this task, after USA, Russia and China.
With its fast growth in technology, especially space technology and IT, and also its abundant population, India can become another superpower in near future.
India is an ancient country with profound culture and wisdom, and has gone through several trials, conflict and ordeal throughout history.
In modern time, despite the ongoing challenges such as huge income gap, India has huge potential to be a peaceful promoter and moderator of World Peace and Democratization.
Similar to many countries in the Democratic world, India faces challenge from tyrannic, coercive regimes such as China and Pakistan.
With its fast development in the newest technology and peaceful raison d'etat, India can be a reliable friend in supporting Democratization of North Korea.
The purpose of this blog is to think of ways toward peaceful and harmonious unification of Korean Peninsula, including the roles and positions of the USA and South Korea.
Even though South and North Korea share the same root and use the common language, differences in cultures including daily expressions, tastes of outfits, music and movies have been getting bigger and bigger since Korea's division in 1948.

India's important position in world Democratization

What can we learn from the Hanoi Summit?
Vietnam was celebrating its Lunar New Year holiday when the 2 leaders had their 2nd summit. It took more than 2 days for Kim Jong Un to travel by train from North Korea to Hanoi.
The talking was not super successful, and US demanded complete denuclearization, while DPRK insisted that they remain as only partially denuclearized.
Nevertheless, peaceful tie and harmony is still maintained, as both leaders seemed to enjoy a good time together.
Although not a big breakthrough, I would say that the summit was still meaningful for US, DPRK, and Vietnam.
Firstly, North Korean official had an opportunity to visit the outside world.
Vietnam is officially a Communist/Socialist-controlled state, however,
the degree of freedom and market economy is much more advanced than DPRK, thus may perform as a role model for it.
USA is standing firm on its position of sanction, while leaving a space for future negotiations if attitude of DPRK changes. With current level of sanction, DPRK regime will one day face its demise, thus prolonging the time and process could be more beneficial for US side.

A press conference was held in midnight,
and only journalists from USA, Russia and socialist countries were allowed to participate.)
