"If North Koreans again brought this up as a condition for denuclearisation, it's just the same way as saying that North Korea is not willing to give up their nuclear weapons," he said.
Pyongyang and Washington may also have diverging perspectives on denuclearisation.
The North may search "a dialogue for peaceful coexistence" with america, said Koh Yu-hwan, a professor at Dongguk University.
"That's far from the complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearisation that the US expects," Koh added.
Both Seoul and Washington say they are going to press ahead with joint struggle video games after the the Paralympics end on March 18 -- because of this they may coincide with the inter-Korean summit.
The Key Resolve and Foal Eagle workouts -- which most often begin in past due Feburary or early March -- were postponed as part of Seoul's efforts to draw the North to wait the Winter Games within the South.
Military tensions regularly run top all over the workouts, with the North carrying out its personal counter-drills against what it condemns as rehearsals for a struggle.
But in keeping with a senior legit on the South's presidential place of business, Kim said all over Monday's assembly he would "understand" if Seoul goes ahead with the not on time workouts.
Kim has made atomic weapons a core part of North Korea's political identity.
In his New Year's address -- which began the diplomatic dance -- he declared the improvement of the state nuclear pressure "complete".
The North's media made no point out of its new place on Wednesday, however analysts disregarded the potential for any internal conflict over Kim's be offering to put its "treasured sword" up for negotiation.
"It is something only the Dear Leader can say," said Professor Koo Kab-woo of the University of North Korean Studies, adding that it was a "typical" instance of Kim's "autonomy".
In his assembly with the South's delegation, Kim referred to denuclearisation as the death want of the former North Korean leaders -- his grandfather Kim Il Sung and father Kim Jong Il -- in keeping with Seoul officials.
"By referring to the wishes of the forefathers, all internal conflict has been eliminated," Koo said, adding: "That's the best card Kim Jong Un can use."
