Kim Jong-un calls for end to confrontation with South Korea
North Korean leader's address appears to offer olive branch but experts warn regime's position may not have changed
Tuesday 1 January 2013 04.28 EST

Kim Jong-un has called for an end to confrontation between North and South Korea, technically still at war in the absence of a peace treaty to end their 1950-53 conflict, in a surprise New Year's Day speech broadcast on state media.

The address by the North Korean leader – who took power after his father, Kim Jong-il, died in 2011 – appeared to take the place of the policy-setting new year editorial published in leading state newspapers.

Its all part of their provocation cycle. Do something bad, say some random act of neutrality, then ask for something in aid.

Probably ran out of his favorite whiskey, caveat, porn movies, and hair gel. Oh, forgot the mud pack and lingerie for the wife. Sanctions must really be hurting.
