Russia's foreign minister agrees to visit Pyongyang, welcomes current spirit of diplomacy
  • 6 years ago
Firming up their bilateral relations,... Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has accepted an invitation from his visiting North Korean counterpart Ri Yong-ho to visit Pyongyang.
Following their talks in Moscow on Tuesday,... Lavorv said he would travel to the North Korean capital at a later date.
However, there was no word on a possible summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Lavrov also said he hoped the current diplomatic push would result in the resumption of the long-stalled Six-Party talks comprised of the two Koreas, the U.S., China, Japan and Russia,... that aim to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
Lavrov said there was nothing to add to reports that China had suggested holding four-way talks between the leaders of the two Koreas, the U.S. and China.
