the nuclear facilities and so forth first of all on. full denuclearization of the korean peninsula. how to achieve it and how to resume a. stalled. dialogue between north korea and the us were the main part of our dialogue. yet concrete the measures for denuclearization and corresponding actions. should be discussed between north korea and the us. south and north korea discussed. only a certain level of that topic and do we discussed a lot about how much we should include in the joint declaration
12:52 pm
but actually the agreement itself was not hard to reach. we did not include all the topics that we discussed into the declaration. but when i. have a summit meeting with president trump i am going to. provide more information on those points to present trump card as if you already know what the u.s. sometimes wants to have their messages delivered through south korea. on the contrary north korea sometimes wants us to serve as. a carrier of their message so i am going to play an important role of facilitator.
