"Denuclearisation"

US PRESIDENT Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un decided to walk away as “friends” after failing to reach an agreement on the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula yesterday.

North Korea has condemned the United States over its latest sanctions measures, warning the policy could "block the path to denuclearization on the Korean peninsula forever".

The discord between the United States and North Korea was thrown into sharp relief at a recent meeting of foreign ministers at the Asean Regional Forum in Singapore.

Declaring a formal end to the Korean War now is the best option for the US to accelerate North Korea’s denuclearisation process and avoid repeating the mistakes of its past administrations, according to a prominent North Korea expert. 

North Korea's Kim Jong Un understands that denuclearisation must happen "quickly", US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday, warning there will be no sanctions relief for Pyongyang until the process is complete.

Seoul - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is committed to "complete" denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula and to a landmark summit with US President Donald Trump, South Korea's leader said Sunday, as Trump announced that plans for the meeting are moving along "very nicely".

It is vital that the international community firmly maintains pressure on North Korea through sanctions and continues efforts to start negotiations toward the country’s abandonment of its nuclear and missile development programs, without being misled by Pyongyang’s charm offensive.
