Welcome back to Asia & The Pacific Brief, where we take a look at the intricate relationship between North and South Korea, marked by a cycle of provocations and dialogues. The recent uptick in military activities and diplomatic strains highlights the fragile peace in the region. As global powers watch closely, the future of the Korean Peninsula remains uncertain amidst these complex geopolitical tensions.
When we look at the relationship between the two Koreas since the war in 1950, it can be seen that there has been an ebb and flow. This complex relationship is important for the future of the Korean peninsula. Because North Korea has a communist ideology and has become a threatening element in the region due to its nuclear weapons. Of course, the biggest threat is to South Korea.
 
The recent increase in relations between South Korea and the USA has caused the relations between North Korea and South Korea to worsen rather than improve. Because North Korean leader Kim Jong-un thought that the increased military relations between South Korea and the USA were a threat to the region and that South Korea was preparing for war in the region.
 
As a result, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un increased his missile tests in the region and declared in the session held at the Supreme People’s Assembly that South Korea is an unchangeable arch-enemy and therefore the Constitution should be reorganized. The hopes of unification between the two countries were also overshadowed when South Korea declared that it was the permanent arch-enemy.
 
It is a matter of curiosity what path North Korea and South Korea will take in the future and what the attitudes of other actors will be in the event of a possible war in the region.
