denuclearization nuclear envoys of the two countries met on Monday for the
second time in a week amid the longer than expected radio silence we've been
seeing over North Korea us working-level and senior level talks Stephen began's

that stalemate our eg1 starts us off

peace and security affairs met for the 12-time Monday morning to discuss the
latest developments in the denuclearization talks we have a shared
goal here which is to bring an end to 70 years of war and hostility on the Korean
Peninsula and the primary requirement for us to get to that endpoint is to
achieve the final and fully verified denuclearization of Korea of the north
of North Korea and so I am absolutely confident that this is within reach and
we're looking forward very much to beginning working on the negotiations
and with North Korea soon as possible the two are expected to have discussed
the progress made so far on the high level and working-level talks announced
by Pyongyang and Washington and with the u.s. midterm elections coming up next
week it's also expected they talked about how Washington will approach
negotiations with the North post-election as well as an analysis of
the latest moves by Pyongyang such as its Vice foreign ministers visit to
Russia they're also likely to have touched on how sanctions fit into
inter-korean cooperation plans like building railroad connections and
forestation areas were those plans violate international sanctions and
where there need to be exemption prior to the meeting he told reporters
that be and himself suggested that he come to Seoul and that they still have a
lot they couldn't get to during their encounter last week

that he might hold working-level talks with his North Korean counterparts but a
senior South Korean official denied those possibilities after vegan met with
South Korea's foreign minister conn-young why in the morning and sat
