HO CHI MINH (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 25th February, 2019) The six-party format that includes North Korea, the United States, Russia, China, South Korea and Japan may be revived to address the Korean Peninsula issue provided that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump reach progress at the upcoming summit in Hanoi, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday.
"I hope that the six-party mechanism, primarily on issues of peace and security, can be very useful if there is progress in bilateral communication between the United States and North Korea," Lavrov said in Ho Chi Minh.
The minister said that there were already some improvements in the North Korean problem and urged the UN Security Council to lift some of its sanctions in relation to the inter-Korean projects to further facilitate the problem settlement.
Russia and the United States hold bilateral consultations on the North Korean problem, including the upcoming summit in Hanoi, the minister added.
