Pompeo says a lot of work to be done at North Korean, U.S. nuclear talks
STOCKHOLM - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said much work remained to be done at U.S.-North Korean nuclear talks that began in Sweden on Saturday aimed at ending a stalemate, expressing hope that “a set of dialogues” would follow in coming weeks and months.
Police had closed off the approaches to the complex facing the Baltic Sea on the island of Lidingo, where the delegations led by U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun and North Korea’s Kim Myong Gil were expected to meet. Speaking in Athens on the last leg of a tour of southern Europe, Pompeo said he was hopeful of progress in the nuclear talks.
At the Singapore meeting in June 2018, Kim and Trump agreed to foster new relations and work toward the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula. North Korean negotiator Kim Myong Gil left the talks to return to the country’s embassy, located on the same island as the conference facility, but told reporters on emerging hours later that he was heading back for an afternoon session.
