SEOUL - Inter-Korean cooperation doesn’t necessarily have to wait for the United States’ denuclearization talks with North Korea to progress, South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said on Tuesday after meeting her U.S. and Japanese counterparts in California.

Kang said that with U.S.-North Korea talks in stalemate, it is essential to revive “North Korea’s engagement momentum” through inter-Korean talks.
