Officials from the two Koreas will meet for talks on Monday to discuss the North Korea nuclear issue, normalization of ties between the two sides, and
the North's requests for aid from the South. The two nations have not communicated since a falling out last July when South Korea airlifted hundreds
of North Korean defectors to Seoul.

North Korea asked the South for the meeting Saturday, according to Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency. The talks were proposed in a telephone message to South Korea's Unification Minister Chung Dong-young, "prompted by the desire to put the inter-Korean relations on a normal track," KCNA reported.
South Korean officials will deliver growing international concerns about the nuclear standoff and "urge the North to respond to calls for early resumption of six-nation talks," Rhee said. Other topics at the two-day talks would include Seoul's fertilizer aid to Pyongyang and arranging meetings of separated families of the two Koreas.
The communist state declared Feb. 10 that it had nuclear weapons and would indefinitely boycott six-party disarmament talks until the United States drops its "hostile" policy toward it.

It is obvious that North Korea is feeling the pressure of food shortages for the government to contact South Korea first. With the North obviously in desperate need of aid, this may be a prime opportunity for South Korea to use that leverage and diffuse the nuclear standoff peacefully, or at least convince the North to return to the six-party nuclear talks.
Last July, South Korea airlifted North Korean refugees to Seoul. The South claimed that they were transported from Vietnam, but it is likely this was a fabricated story designed to pacify the North.
