Korean states seek nuclear stand-off resolution

The two Koreas today agreed to seek a peaceful resolution to the North’s nuclear stand-off with the international community but failed to set a date for stalled disarmament talks to resume.

“The two Koreas have agreed to take real measures for peaceful resolution of the nuclear issue through dialogue … with the ultimate goal of denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula,” said South Korean Unification Minister Chung Dong-young, Seoul’s head delegate.
