MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 25th October, 2018) The efforts made by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Pyongyang's negotiations with Seoul and Washington have reduced tensions between the two Koreas and brought peace to the Korean Peninsula, Ryu Myong Son, the deputy chair of the international department of the Workers' Party of Korea, said on Thursday.
