- 6 years ago
A senior South Korean official says dialogue between North Korea and the United States is continuing... and in a respectful way.
Speaking on condition of anonymity,… the official at the presidential office said the mood between the two seems to have changed drastically in the past six months,… so much so that the trajectory of the talks is being orchestrated by the leaders themselves with their staff trying to keep up.
Also, the official said, President Trump agreed with President Moon at the G20... that the next North Korea-U.S. summit needs to happen as soon as possible.
The official added that North Korea's Kim Jong-un is a man of his word -- that over the past year he has kept his promises, even if the timing might depend on the circumstances.
