The Olimpic Winter Games. Is really a peace possibility between the two Koreas?
The Olympic Winter Games of 2018 are taking place in South Korea and thanks to this there has been a rapprochement between South Korea and North Korea, when the President of North Korea Kim Jong-un decided to contact the President of South Korea Moon Jae-in to invite him to participate in an important summit to be held in this country.
Prospectively, since the separation of the two Koreas, South Korea has always had political and economic closeness with the United States and in fact they have an agreement whose purpose is to put an end to North Korea's nuclear program that threatens, of course, in the first place to U.S.A but also to the rest of the world.
In my opinion, it will be very difficult for South Korea to become in a partial country if reach peace agreements with North Korea because, as I mentioned earlier, it has an agreement with the United States on halting North Korea's nuclear program that practically threatens with the end of the world and likewise with the peace and international security, of course North Korea doesn´t agree to stop its nuclear program but on the contrary to strengthen it.
All this would represent a duality for South Korea because on the one hand, there is an agreement that would put an end to the nuclear weapons era that threatens the peace and security of the world and, on the other hand, the long-awaited peace for many years of the two Koreas.
Although, I think that if North and South Korea start having consecutive meetings to put diplomatic agreements on the table between them, South Korea could play the role of mediator between North Korea and the United States and possibly can also meet to make a diplomatic exchange.
South Korea must then take a decision and act with political intelligence so that to managed for find a balance in which everyone can benefit, enforce the agreements already in place and reach the agreements that have always expected with North Korea.
I think, finally, that important events such as the Olympic Winter Games can intervene politically, because although its main function is to enhance the qualities of athletes. The fact that carried out in a certain country that has problems of all areas can be could reconcile with another like in this case, or on the contrary, as demonstrated in the World Cup Brazil 2014, governments can be aware of what the civilian population thinks about their work.
