US confident on plans for Trump-Kim talks - Published US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said preparations for talks with North Korea are "moving in the right direction" but that there is "a great deal of work to do". He was speaking after talks with one of Kim Jong-un's most high-profile aides, Gen Kim Yong-chol, in New York. Gen Kim will now travel to Washington to deliver a letter from Kim Jong-un to President Donald Trump, he said. Mr Trump has also downplayed hopes of reaching a quick deal with Mr Kim. He said while he would "like to see it done in one meeting... often times that's not the way deals work". "But it'll get done at some point." Separately, the North Korean leader has agreed to hold a summit with Russia, after a meeting with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. North Korean and US officials have been working to get the 12 June Singapore summit back on track after the US leader, angered by North Korean rhetoric, announced last week he was no longer attending. If it does go ahead, it will be the first time a sitting US president has met a North Korean leader. Pyongyang has long wanted such a meeting, which it would see as validating its status. The talks will focus on North Korea's announcement earlier this year that it is committed to "denuclearisation" - but there is as yet no agreement between the two sides about what that might mean and how it would be achieved. Gen Kim - who is vice-chairman of North Korea's ruling Workers' Party's Central Committee - is the most senior North Korean to visit the US in nearly 20 years. At his press conference on Thursday, Mr Pompeo said they had "made real progress" towards bringing their leaders to the summit. The US-North Korea relationship was at a "pivotal moment", he said, and it would be "nothing short of tragic to let this opportunity go to waste". "This is going to be a process that will take days and weeks to work our way through," he said. What is at stake? The US has long called on North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons programme but Pyongyang maintains it needs the weapons for its security. In exchange for North Korea giving up its atomic arsenal, the US could possibly relax sanctions, offering food and other aid to the impoverished country. However, Pyongyang has strongly objected to statements by Trump administration officials comparing North Korean denuclearisation to Libya's. Former Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi gave up his nuclear programme only for him to be killed by Western-backed rebels a few years later. Who else has been talking? In North Korea, Mr Kim held a meeting with Mr Lavrov and, according to state media, told him that the "will for denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula still remains unchanged and consistent and fixed". The BBC's Laura Bicker in Seoul says Mr Kim's agreement to meet President Vladimir Putin in Russia later this year has sent a signal to Washington that North Korea has powerful allies. North Korea's Deputy Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui also met Sung Kim, a former US ambassador to South Korea, at Panmunjom on the border between the two Koreas. In Singapore, where the summit will be held, a US team led by White House official Joe Hagin is thought to be meeting Kim Chang-son, the de facto chief of staff to the North Korean leader, to talk about logistics. US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis is also travelling to Singapore for an annual Asian security summit. He told reporters on his plane on Thursday he would reassure US allies the White House was committed to their regional security.

'किम जङ अन शिखर वार्ताका लागि मस्को जाने' उत्तर कोरियाले आफ्ना नेता किम जङ-अन एक शिखर वार्तामा भाग लिन मस्को जानका लागि सहमत भएको जनाएको छ। रुसी विदेश मन्त्री सर्गेइ लाभ्रोभले उत्तर कोरियाको भ्रमण गरेलगत्तै त्यस्तो घोषणा भएको हो। प्योङयाङमा लाभ्रोभलाई भेटेपछि नेता किमले यसै वर्षको अन्त्यसम्ममा मस्कोमा राष्ट्रपति भ्लादिमिर पुटिनसँग भेटघाट गर्ने जानकारी दिएका हुन्। उत्तर कोरियाली समाचार संस्थाका अनुसार लाभ्रोभसँगको भेटमा नेता किमले परमाणु अस्त्र निश्शस्त्रीकरण प्रतिको आफ्नो प्रतिबद्धता नबदलिएको बताएका थिए। "चरणबद्ध" तर किमले त्यस्त्रो निश्शस्त्रीकरण "चरणबद्ध रूपमा" हुने बताएको जनाइएको छ। त्यही विषय उत्तर कोरिया र अमेरिकाबीच जारी संवादका क्रममा पेचिलो बन्दै आएको छ। अमेरिकाले चाहिँ पूर्ण निश्शस्त्रीकरणपछि मात्र उत्तर कोरियामाथि लगाइएका प्रतिबन्धहरू फुकुवा गर्न सकिने सर्त राखेको छ। त्यसअघि अमेरिकी विदेशमन्त्री माइक पोम्पेओले बिहीवार उत्तर कोरियाली नेताका विश्वासपत्रसँगको भेटमा "वास्तविक प्रगति हासिल" भएको बताएका थिए। तर पोम्पेओले नेता किम र राष्ट्रपति डोनल्ड ट्रम्पबीच हुने भनिएको बहुप्रतीक्षित शिखर वार्ता निर्धारित समय र स्थानमा हुने हो वा होइन भनेर खुलाएनन्।
