www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23791117Seems incredible after the recent sabre-rattling going on between them that they would start coming to the table and talking about things like this so soon.

The North Korean saber-rattling wasn't really with South Korea but instead with the United States. The United States has our military sitting on the southern border of N Korea and, because we're a nuclear weapons nation, we represent a nuclear threat against that nation.
When I was in Vietnam we had ROC (Republic of Korea) military forces and they don't require the US military to defend S Korea against a N Korean invasion. The US military isn't doing anything in S Korea except to provoke N Korea. We should have withdrawn from S Korea not later than the end of the 1950's because we serve no valid purpose there. If we would have withdrawn, or if we withdraw today, North and South Korea would work out their differences. If the US agreed to withdraw N Korea could be convinced to dismantle it's nuclear weapons that it only produced as a deterrent to a potential US attack against it.
The United State is responsible for the problems between N Korea and S Korea today because we're sticking our noses in their business. Left to their own devices this problem would have resolved between them decades ago.
