Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s silence on its upcoming summits with the United States and the Republic of Korea (RoK) is likely due to caution over organising its stance regarding the meetings, RoK’s Ministry of Unification said on March 12.
"We have not seen nor received an official response
from the DPRK regime regarding the DPRK-US summit," said Baik Tae-hyun,
spokesman for the ministry, in a regular press conference.
"I feel they're approaching this matter with caution
and they need time to organise their stance."
Signs of a thaw on the Korean Peninsula emerged earlier this
year since working-level talks between the two Koreas were held at the truce
village of Panmunjom and the DPRK participated in the PyeongChang Winter
Olympics.

In addition, the two Koreas agreed to hold the third
inter-Korean summit in late April. Trump agreed to meet with Kim Jong Un by the
end of May. A location has not been decided for the DPRK-US summit while Kim
Jong Un and Moon will meet at the truce village of Panmunjom straddling the
border between the two Koreas.
US President Donald Trump on March 9 said that the deal with
the DPRK is "very much in the making" and will be good for the world.
Trump's remarks came
one day after the White House confirmed that he agreed to meet Kim Jong Un, the
top leader of the DPRK, in a couple of months, signaling a big step toward
resolving the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue.
