Following the conclusion of the bilateral talks with the United States, North Korea said it will “continue to cooperate” with the United States to narrow differences, and that the two sides had some common understandings on the need to resume the six-party talks and on the importance of the implementation of the Sept. 15, 2005 joint statement.
A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry in Pyongyang told the Korean Central News Agency that the North and the United States had “earnest and candid” discussions on a range of issues, including reaching a peace treaty, normalizing their relations, provision of economic and energy assistance and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
And through these discussions, the spokesman said the two sides were able to bridge their differences and that they’d agreed to “continue to cooperate to narrow remaining differences.”
“We were able to find some common grounds,” the spokesman said. “We shared views on the need to reconvene the six-party talks and on the importance of the implementation of the Sept. 19 [2005] joint statement.”
