The North Korea, for various reasons, are closer to being willing to freeze or even give up their program than they have ever been, and that is not a bad thing.

My impression was that North Korea and the United States would carry out dialogue soon, and it would go well.

I've told him we'll carefully examine it and make a decision in a way that serves our national interest.

We cannot but develop nonstop super-powerful weapon systems to remove the potential and direct threats to the security of our country that exist in the south.

The latest launch has more political purposes as the North called it a show of force rather than firing drills like before, targeting the South's weapons purchases and joint exercises with the United States.

The operational capacity of a submarine is an important component in national defense of our country bounded on its east and west by sea.

I never expected to meet you at this place. by Kim Jong

I never expected to meet you at this place.

I think meeting here, two countries that have a hostile past, we are showcasing to the world that we have a new present and we have a positive meeting going forward, some are saying this meeting was preplanned but I was very surprised to hear about your offer on the tweet.

Kim Jong Un has given the United States until the end of the year to rethink its approach, but if they don't get a meaningful response to these tests, maybe they'll try to push the envelope further.

It's an enormous challenge for that country to make its shift, it has for an awfully long time told its people that those nuclear weapons were the thing that kept them secure. They now need to shift to the narrative to 'those are the things that put them at risk.'.

I hope the talks will be successful and useful, i hope that we can discuss concrete questions about peace negotiations on the Korean peninsula, and our bilateral relations.

It is necessary to sweep away the whirlwind of sanctions by the hostile forces.

Kim does not want to look too dependent on Washington, Beijing and Seoul, as for Russia, the Putin-Kim summit will reaffirm Moscow's place as a major player on the Korean Peninsula. This meeting is important for Russian international prestige.

The United States is talking a lot about holding a third US-NK summit meeting, but we are neither pleased nor willing to see a summit like the Hanoi summit reenacted.

It is essential for the U.S. to quit its current calculation method and approach us with new one.

If it (the United States) keeps thinking that way, it will never be able to move the DPRK even a knuckle nor gain any interests no matter how many times it may sit for talks with the DPRK.

That probably indicates that the North is triggering plans to diversify its diplomatic relations with other countries.

I make it clear once again that it is my unwavering determination to turn the North-South ties into those of durable and lasting reconciliation and cooperation by holding hands with the south Korean authorities and to write a new history of the nation, peaceful and co-prosperous.

First of all, it is necessary for The United States to stop the current way of calculation and approach us with a new way of calculation, what is obvious is that if The United States sticks to the current political way of calculation, the prospects for problem solving will be dark and very dangerous.

But it will be hard to get a good opportunity like the last time again.

No deal is better than a bad deal, lifting key economic sanctions without proportionate denuclearization steps risk losing leverage.
