Washington, June 1 (TNS): North Korean and US officials have been working to get the 12 June Singapore summit back on track.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said “preparations for talks with North Korea are moving in the right direction”, but there is a great deal of work to do.
He was speaking after talks with Kim Jong-un’s close aide, Gen Kim Yong-chol, in New York. Gen Kim will deliver a letter from Kim Jong-un to President Donald Trump, he said.
He said “I would like to see it done in one meeting. Often times that’s not the way deals work”. “But it’ll get done at some point.”
Separately, the North Korean leader has agreed to hold a summit with Russia, after a meeting with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
