Some analysts have dismissed Pyongyang's move as a "face saving" exercise to show solidarity with China, and Paul Ingram - from the British American Security Information Council - told us there's still a long way to go before any concrete progress can be made.

The world's largest carbon-free neighbourhood

I am a big travel freak and my fav destination is Italy. I first visited in 1996 and have been back every two years since. I think it should be the top travel destination and there are lots of cool vacation ideas on sites like dozenvacation.com so you will love it too!
