The United States should abandon the requirements of nuclear disarmament as a preliminary condition for the resumption of diplomatic negotiations suspended for a long time.
about this, the DPRK leader Kim Jong -un said during a speech in the Supreme People’s Assembly. The text of the speech was published by the North Korean State Media.
Kim Jong -un emphasized that Pyongyang does not intend to renew the dialogue with South Korea. “The world is well aware of how Washington acts, forcing other countries to refuse nuclear weapons and disarm,” said the DPRK leader.
He categorically excluded the possibility of abandoning the nuclear arsenal and negotiations with “hostile countries” in exchange for relieving sanctions. Kim Jong -un noted that he had retained positive memories of them. The North Korean leader added that if the United States abandon its “fanatical idea” about nuclear disarmament, the DPRK has no obstacles to the resumption of negotiations with Washington.
Kim Jong Yun and Donald Trump first met on June 12, 2018 in Singapore, where reached an agreement on denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and establishing a sustainable world.
The second meeting of the Leaders took place on February 26-27, 2019 in Vietnam, however, the last meeting was completed before. Continue negotiations on the nuclear program.
Nevertheless, in October 2019, work consultations in Sweden were interrupted. According to Pyongyan, the American side retained its “outdated approaches and positions.” In 2020, Washington proposed renewing negotiations on denuclearization, but the DPRK rejected this proposal.
