d.p. r. k. this statement says commit to hold a follow on negotiations led by the u.s. secretary of state mike compare and a relevant high level d p r k official at the year. earliest possible date so no specific no specific date there but there is some kind of process outlined involving the u.s. secretary of state how do you think people will interpret though the commitment the d.p. r. k. is giving to work towards complete denuclearization rather than to complete denuclearize ation. yes what should say first of all regards to the u.s. secretary of state he is now going to head towards south korea to give a full briefing of what happened in singapore but regards to the working towards denuclearization people will be a bit concerned about that they want denuclearization to happen they know that this is potentially going to be a long process but ideally they would like that to be sped up so there will be some skepticism about that. thanks so much wayne hey there let's recap the latest developments donald trump and kim jong un summit in singapore the two leaders signed desc

d.p. r. k. will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime in the korean peninsula now as part of that agreement north korea has reaffirmed its commitment to working toward a complete denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula and in what one would you know assume to be a show of good faith u.s. president trump agreed to call off the war games the united states and south korea had scheduled for this summer sounds reasonable to me hey you know but. yeah apparently not apparently not but it is a significant concession and it's interesting for the president of the united states to refer to u.s. south korean joint military exercises as provocative because really that's the point of view of the north koreans if we withdraw our forces and that's part of the deal i can't support the deal that will lead to more conflict not less our forces in south korea are stabilizing asia they're trying to drive us out of asia china is and that would be a bad deal and those military exercises serve multiple purposes not only do they deter aggression by the north but they serve other interests in the asian pacific region so i think taking those off the table

d.p. r. k. summit the three of us we have come to the adoption of the joint statement in singapore where chairman kim reaffirmed his firm and unwilling commitment to the complete denuclearization of the peninsula while president tramp committed to provide north korea that with the security guarantees this is the first time that the higher stuff after north korea promised the president of the united states to really it's the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula which we believe how best stirred the polish political momentum for action to resolve the north korean nuclear issue. secondly we should be understanding that the june twelfth summit is not the end but a new beginning tour as a denuclearized and peace for the korean peninsula in this regard it is a shared expectation to see substantial progress in the denuclearization process through fouling up negotiations building upon the outcome of the us d p r k summit we also hope that this process respects out a more concrete picture of a brighter and more prosperous future for north korea. thirdly through our best agreed that we would not have been here we are we're here where we are
