On the one year anniversary of her inauguration, South Korea's Foreign Affairs Minister Kang Kyung-wha held a press briefing where she fielded questions, mostly, on North Korea-U.S. summit and the latest developments in North Korea.
Having talked with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, again this morning, Minister Kang said the two exchanged details on Pompeo's visit to China and the first general-level military talks between the two Koreas.
She added that Pompeo was determined to carry out the follow-up measures on their agreement with the North "speedily".
When asked how South Korea sees U.S. President Trump's comments on Seoul and Tokyo paying for Pyongyang's denuclearization cost, she said it is thought that all stakeholders will contribute in various ways.
Minister Kang also mentioned that within this month, the ministry will announce its plans to make the issue of Japan's sexual enslavement of women during the second World War a grave human rights issue of the world.
