These commitments are regarding complete denuclearization which in turn will transform US-DPRK relations. The commitments will also help in building of peace which will be lasting for the Korean Peninsula.
In the previous summit at Singapore, Kim Jong Un had pleaded for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. However, there has not been any further conclusions regarding the matter.
Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un have since then stalled upon deciding what denuclearization means to both.
It is expected that the talks between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un will continue on the same line. The talks will be towards the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. It will also focus on building the US-DPRK relations as well as on the security matters.
Though the supreme leader, Kim Jong Un is pretty keen on denuclearization, it is certain that he will not be destroying the existing nuclear arsenal. What the two leaders make of the Hanoi summit is yet to be seen. We fervently hope the Hanoi summit will bring peace to the world in all.
