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

South Korean National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac has stated that Seoul intends to work closely with the United States to ensure that a renewed dialogue between Washington and Pyongyang leads to concrete advancements in addressing the North Korean nuclear issue. This comment came during a press conference as President Donald Trump has consistently expressed his desire to revive dormant talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The North Korean regime's significant progress in nuclear and missile technology has raised apprehensions that these restored negotiations might jeopardize the allies' ultimate objective of completely denuclearizing the North. Wi Sung-lac emphasized that South Korea must concentrate on collaborating with the U.S. in a manner that allows the reestablishment of North Korea-U.S. dialogue to result in tangible progress towards establishing a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula and resolving the nuclear predicament.

The government's strategy involves fostering trust between North Korea and the U.S. to facilitate President Trump's endeavors.
