Japanese media reported the day before that the United States and South Korea would decrease the scale of their regular joint military exercises, which are scheduled for spring, in order to facilitate Pyongyang’s denuclearisation process.
The North Korean Envoy has told the UN Conference on Disarmament that the country will continue working to establish a “permanent and durable peace mechanism on the Korean Peninsula”.
He also noted that if the US responds to its efforts with trustworthy measures and practical actions, “bilateral relations will develop wonderfully at a fast pace”.
