South Korean official: U.S. and North Korea are trying to narrow their differences for new round of summit talks in contrast to rising Iran tensions, adamschreck and hyungjin1972 report.
In this Wednesday, June 26, 2019, photo, South Korean Unification Minister Kim Yeon-chul listens to a question during a group interview at a hotel in Seoul, South Korea. The U.S. and North Korea both feel the need to resume diplomacy and are trying to narrow their differences for new summit talks, Kim said as he contrasted their efforts with the tensions surrounding Iran's collapsing nuclear accord.
After fears of war over the North’s provocative run of weapons tests in 2017, Washington and Pyongyang held a series of talks including two summits between Trump and Kim. The Hanoi summit broke down due to squabbling over U.S.-led sanctions on North Korea, but the two leaders recently exchanged personal letters in an apparent effort to keep diplomacy alive.
“The projects, of course, could be resumed as an outcome of lifted sanctions,” he said. “Another way to consider is allowing the projects under exemptions when the process enters the early stage of sanctions relief, as part of a negotiation package to facilitate .” Hanging over the prospect of future talks with North Korea are the rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Those stem from a decision by the Trump administration last year to withdraw from a landmark 2015 agreement designed to limit Iran’s own nuclear ambitions.
“Both North Korea and the United States feel some sort of need for negotiations and they are trying to make efforts together to bridge their differences on sticking points. So I wonder we should look at bit differently,” he said in response to questions about Iran.
