South Korean President Moon Jae-in said Thursday that North Korea should take concrete actions to accelerate the process of denuclearization
MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th January, 2019) South Korean President Moon Jae-in said Thursday that North Korea should take concrete actions to accelerate the process of denuclearization.
"I believe North Korea needs to take practical denuclearization steps more boldly if it wishes to resolve the issue of international sanctions because the issue of international sanctions depends on the speed of North Korea's denuclearization process," Moon said during a press conference, as quoted by the Yonhap news agency.
The South Korean leader also noted that the international community should also take appropriate steps with the aim to speed up the denuclearization process.
The situation on the Korean peninsula has improved since the beginning of this year as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un engaged in an active dialogue with Moon and US President Donald Trump. During the landmark Kim-Trump summit in June, the two leaders agreed that Pyongyang would make efforts to denuclearize the Korean peninsula in exchange for the United States and South Korea freezing their military drills as well as the potential removal of US sanctions.
