CB3_"Switzerland says no takers yet on offer to defuse Korea tensions"



“Switzerland says no takers yet on offer to defuse Korea tensions”

This article explains that Switzerland may become a negotiator in order to help loosen the tensions between the United States and North Korea. Even though this article is rather short, it still illustrates how the world is affected by tensions between other states. The fact that another state that is not directly in the conflict is potentially offering help to defuse the issue illustrates how certain conflicts can affect others globally. The Swiss foreign ministry has made an offer to mediate the rising tensions in the Korean peninsula similar to what they have done after the Korean War. Even though the offer is there, Switzerland still needs to enact the offer. The idea that the offer was made shows how other states can be affected due to globalization and relationships with other states.
