Seoul to work with Washington to make NK-US dialogue lead to progress on nuclear issue: Wi

South Korea will collaborate with the United States to ensure that any renewed dialogue between Washington and Pyongyang results in meaningful progress on the nuclear issue in North Korea, according to the country's top security adviser, Wi Sung-lac. This statement was made during a press briefing as U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated his intent to revive the dormant diplomatic relations with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

However, the prospect of such talks is raising apprehensions that they may jeopardize the allies' overarching objective of completely disarming North Korea. Wi stressed that Seoul's priority should be to work in tandem with the U.S. in a manner that facilitates the resumption of North Korea-U.S. dialogue, leading to concrete advancements towards establishing a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula and addressing the North Korean nuclear issue.

The government aims to foster trust between North Korea and the U.S., enabling President Trump's efforts to yield tangible results.
