US says it's ready to resume nuclear talks with North Korea The top U.S. envoy on North Korea says Washington is ready to restart nuclear negotiations with North Korea SEOUL, South Korea -- The United States is ready to restart nuclear negotiations with North Korea, a senior U.S. diplomat said Wednesday, a day after U.S. and South Korean militaries ended their regular drills that North Korea calls an invasion rehearsal. During the 10-day U.S.-South Korean training, largely computer-simulated war games, North Korea raised tensions with its own missile and other weapons tests. But North Korea's typical harsh rhetoric over the drills focused on South Korea, not the United States, in a suggestion that it's still interested in resuming nuclear talks with the U.S. President Donald Trump said recently he received a "beautiful" three-page letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump said Kim wanted to meet again to restart the talks after the U.S.-South Korean drills ended and that Kim offered him "a small apology" over the weapons tests. On Wednesday, Trump's top envoy on North Korea, Stephen Biegun, told reporters in Seoul that "we are prepared to engage as soon as we hear from our counterparts in North Korea." Biegun said that Trump assigned his team to restart working-level talks with North Korea, in line with what Trump and Kim agreed during their third summit in late June. "I am fully committed to this important mission and we will get this done," Beigun said. Beigun also denied media speculation that he may be appointed as the new U.S. ambassador in Russia. "I will remain focused on making progress on North Korea," he said. Beigun was in Seoul for talks with South Korea. His South Korean counterpart Lee Do-hoon said the two discussed how to quickly resume the nuclear negotiations and produce "substantial progress." U.S.-led diplomacy on how to rid North Korea of its nuclear weapons collapsed after Trump rejected Kim's demand for sweeping sanctions relief in return for partial disarmament steps during their second summit in Vietnam in February. During their third meeting at the Korean border village of Panmunjom on June 30, the two leaders agreed to restart the talks but there has been no public meeting between the countries. Many experts say North Korea's recent weapons tests were mainly aimed at applying pressure on the United States ahead of a possible resumption of talks, while registering its protest against the military drills. Most of the weapons tested were short-range missiles and rockets that experts said could target South Korea, not the mainland U.S.

वासिङ्टन: अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाली नेता कीम जोङ–अनलाई फेब्रुअरी २७–२८ तारिखमा भियतनाममा भेट्ने घोषणा गर्नुभएको छ । दुबै नेताबीच गत वर्ष जुनमा सिंगापुरमा पहिलो ऐतिहासिक शिखर बैठक भएको थियो । भियतनाम बैठकमा राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाको आणविक कार्यक्रम त्याग्नका लागि उत्तर कोरियाली नेतालाई सहमत गराउन विशेष पहल गर्नु हुनेछ । अमेरिकी संयुक्त सदनलाई सम्बोधन गर्दै राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले गत वर्ष सिंगापुरमा भएको पहिलो वार्ताले शान्तिका लागि बाटो खोलेको बताउनुभयो । तर आणविक निःशस्त्रीकरण कसरी सम्पन्न हुन्छ भन्नेमा अझैसम्म ठोस कार्यक्रम र रुपरेखा तय भइसकेको छैन । राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले भन्नुभयो, “कोरियाली प्रायःद्वीपमा दिगो शान्ति स्थापना गर्न संयुक्तराज्य अमेरिकाले ऐतिहासिक र साहसिक कदम चाल्नु आवश्यक थियो ।” राष्ट्रिय गुप्तचर निकायका निर्देशक ड्यान कोट्सले गत साता कङ्ग्रेसको एक समितिमा अमेरिकी गुप्तचर अधिकारीहरुले अझै पनि कीमले आणविक कार्यक्रम त्याग्नेमा विश्वास नगरेको बताउनुभएको थियो । उहाँले आणविक अस्त्र नै उत्तर कोरियाको मुख्य बाँच्ने आधार रहेको बताउनुभएको छ । गत वर्ष जुनमा भएको पहिलो शिखर बैठकपछि लिइएका भूउपग्रहीय तस्वीरमा उत्तर कोरियाले आणविक सामग्रीहरुको उत्पादनलाई नरोकेको सङ्केत गरेका छन् । गत वर्ष, उत्तर कोरियाले थुनामा रहेका केही अमेरिकीलाई छाडेको थियो भने आणविक तथा लामो दूरीका क्षेप्यास्त्रको परीक्षण स्थगित गरेको थियो । एउटा आणविक परीक्षण केन्द्र ध्वस्त बनाउनुका साथै एउटा रकेट प्रक्षेपण स्थल नष्ट गरेको थियो । तर यी सबै कार्यहरु कुनै पनि अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय विज्ञ वा मुलुकको रोहबरमा गरिएका थिएनन् । यद्यपी राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले हालसम्म भएका प्रगतिको विवरण सुनाउँदै भन्नुभयो, “उत्तर कोरियामा कब्जामा रहेका अमेरिकीहरु घर फर्किएका छन्, आणविक परीक्षण रोकिएको छ, र १५ महिनाभन्दा बढी समयदेखि कुनै पनि किसिमको क्षेप्यास्त्र प्रहारका घटना भएका छैनन् । यदि म अमेरिकाको राष्ट्रपतिमा निर्वाचित नभएको भए मेरो विचारमा उत्तर कोरियासँग ठूलो युद्ध शुरु भइसकेको हुन्थ्यो ।” “धेरै काम गर्न अझै बाँकी नै छ, तर कीम जोङ–अनसँग मेरो सम्बन्ध निकै राम्रो छ,” उहाँले बताउनुभयो । दुई नेताबीच भियतनाममा हुने शिखर बैठकको तयारीका निम्ति उत्तर कोरियाका लागि अमेरिकी विशेषदूत स्टेफन बाइगन उत्तर कोरिया प्रस्थान गर्नुभएको छ । भियतनाममा हुने दुई दिने शिखर बैठकको स्थान भने घोषणा गरिएको छैन । भियतनाममा कम्युनिष्ट शासन रहेपनि आर्थिक उदारवाद र स्वतन्त्र व्यापार नीतिका कारण भियतनामले पछिल्लो केहीवर्षदेखि उच्च दरको आर्थिक विकास गरिरहेको छ ।
