N Korean leader ‘concerned’ about impasse in denuclearization talks with US
Tehran (KNA) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-un says he is "concerned" about what he calls a “deadlock” in denuclearization negotiations with the United States, whose president is to meet him in the near future.
Kim on Wednesday "raised concern about the deadlock created in the process of improving US-DPRK ties and in denuclearization talks," the official KCNA news agency said.
Kim said Pyongyang's "basic position of pursuing a peaceful resolution through dialogue remains unchanged," it added.
He said North Korea "will continue sticking to the stance of denuclearization and resolving the Korean peninsula issue through dialogue and consultation," Xinhua reported.
The North, Kim said, will "make efforts for the second summit between DPRK and US leaders to achieve results that will be welcomed by the international community".
The North Korean leader made the remarks in a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. The two allies held two days of talks in the Chinese capital this week seen as preparation for his second meeting with Trump, with denuclearization talks making little progress since the first historic US-North Korean summit.
