Kim Jong-un is a western educated man who has experience living in Europe and writes/speaks English. It's just my opinion, but I always figured that after he secured enough power and was in a good enough position he would open up to the world more than his father. The fact that China has made a lot of head-room with them in the last couple years has probably helped it along, especially given currently Asia/U.S. tensions. This also isn't an end to the mess, it's an agreement to engage and cooperate, it's ground work, but not an actual peace treaty or trade deal, but it's definitely a good start.
