Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump stand in front of the flags of their two countries.
“In the letter, he… explained his plan to propel the relations between the two countries of the DPRK and the US and expressed his intent to render cooperation in the anti-epidemic work,” an apparent reference to the coronavirus pandemic, Jong said in the statement reported by the North’s Korean Central News Agency .
Analysts say the North has been continuing to refine its weapons capabilities more than a year after a summit between Kim and Trump broke down in Hanoi. The deadlock is over sanctions relief and what North Korea would be willing to give up in return. But she said “nobody knows how much the personal relations would change and lead the prospective relations between the two countries, and it is not something good to make hasty conclusion or be optimistic about it”.
Pyongyang set Washington a unilateral end-2019 deadline to offer fresh concessions, and in late December Kim declared the North no longer considered itself bound by its moratoriums on nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile tests. Seoul’s unification ministry earlier this month said the drills are aimed at strengthening “internal solidarity” while “attracting the attention of the US and South Korea and pressuring their change in attitude”.
