For United States
For the United States, the inter-Korean summit will act as a barometer for what many consider the main event: a meeting between Kim and Trump. What's agreed on Friday will chart a course for that encounter and give a better feel for Kim's agenda.
Three Factors
Economic pressure and sanctions have begun to bite, making Kim vulnerable economically. Trade with China, the country's traditional ally and economic benefactor, has collapsed.
There's three key topics on the agenda: the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, the improvement of bilateral relations, and a formal peace settlement -- the Korean War ended in 1953 with a ceasefire so technically the two sides are still at war.

Basic Introductio n
In newly announced details, South Korea said President Moon Jae-in would personally meet Mr Kim at the border at 09:30 local time (00:30 GMT). The historic talks will focus on the North's recent indications it could be willing to give up its nuclear weapons.
The highest-stake issue is North Korea's nuclear weapons program. Kim has conducted more missile tests than either his father or grandfather and claims to have a long-range missile that can reach the US mainland tipped with a nuclear warhead.
For China and Japan
Japan and China also have a lot at stake in these negotiations.
Tokyo is fearful it's been left out and is worried that a deal could be struck that would allow North Korea to retain short-and-medium range missile that can target Japan. Beijing, meanwhile, is worried that Kim is moving out of its orbit and the summit could result in a deal that pushes North Korea closer to the US and its allies.
Thank you!

Reasons
No-one knows for sure why Kim decided to come to the negotiating table but analysts say it's likely a combination of three factors.
Who will attend
Mr. Kim will be accompanied by nine officials, including his sister, Kim Yo-jong, who led the North's delegation to the Winter Olympics in South Korea earlier this year. Kim Yong-nam, North Korea's nominal head of state, will also attend. In a rare move - one not seen at previous interKorean summits - the delegation will also feature top military officials and diplomats.
Kim craves international recognition and believes his nuclear weapons give him strength and leverage on the world stage and at home. He wants foreign leaders to treat him as an equal not a pariah. Sitting down for a summit with Moon, and then Trump, will be characterized as a victory back home that neither his father nor grandfather was able to achieve. Lastly, Kim could be playing for time. Trump's first term in office has been marked by erratic threats, military displays and the appointment of hardliners to key Cabinet positions. Calculating that the risk of war has risen, Kim may think talks are necessary to ensure the survival of his family dynasty.
