Stalled talks with US ‘not good’ for Pyongyang, S. Korea tells China

Stalled talks with US ‘not good’ for Pyongyang, S. Korea tells China

Stalled denuclearization talks and a recent flare-up in tension between Washington and Pyongyang are not beneficial for Pyongyang, South Korean President Moon Jae-in told Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Monday.

North Korea has set a year-end deadline for the US to change what it says is a policy of hostility amid a stalemate in efforts to make progress on their pledge to end the North’s nuclear program.

Xi told Moon that China supports South Korea’s efforts to improve ties with North Korea and inject new impetus into promoting peace talks, Reuters reported.

Moon is visiting China for a trilateral meeting between him, Japanese PM Shinzo Abe and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in the southwestern city of Chengdu.
