Pyongyang,
March 1 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers’ Party of Korea and
chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea, met
again and had talks with Donald
J. Trump, president of the United
States of America, on Thursday.
Supreme
Leader of the Party, state and army Kim Jong Un met again with USA President
Donald J. Trump at Metropole Hotel in Hanoi at 9:00 a.m. Hanoi Time and then had one-on-one talks before having extended talks with their aides attending.
The
top leaders of the two countries highly appreciated at the one-on-one talks
and extended talks that
a remarkable progress has been made
in the historic course of
implementing the Singapore joint
statement. They had a
constructive and candid exchange of
their opinions over the
practical issues arising in opening up a new era of the improvement of
the DPRK-U.S. relations on the basis of the progress.
At
the talks they shared the common understanding that the efforts made by
the two sides and proactive
measures taken by them to defuse
tensions and preserve peace
on the Korean peninsula and
completely denuclearize it were
of great significance in building mutual trust and making a fundamental turn in
the decades-long bilateral
relations characterized by
mistrust and antagonism.
The
top leaders listened to each other’s views on the issues to be resolved without
fail at the present phase in order to carry out the joint goals specified in
the Singapore joint statement, and had an in-depth discussion of the ways to do
so.
They
expressed the conviction that though a high barrier of antagonism and confrontation
stands due to over
7 decades-long hostile
relations and there exist inevitable
hardships and difficulties on the road to writing a new history of the DPRK-U.S. relationship, they could create a significant
advance in the DPRK-U.S. relations as
desired by the peoples
of the two countries if
they firmly join hands
to overcome hardships and
difficulties with wisdom
and patience.
The
top leaders of the two countries appreciated that the second meeting in Hanoi offered
an important occasion for deepening mutual respect and trust and putting the
relations between the two countries on a new stage.
They
agreed to keep in close touch with each other for the denuclearization of the
Korean peninsula and
the epochal development
of the DPRK-U.S. relations in the future, too, and continue productive dialogues for settling the issues discussed at the Hanoi Summit.
Kim
Jong Un expressed his thanks to Trump
for making positive efforts for the
successful meeting and
talks while making
a long journey
and said goodbye, promising the
next meeting.
