“The United States has no intention of easing our unilateral or United Nations sanctions. However, within the context of the engagement that we have with the DPRK, we are prepared to explore a number of other things that could build trust between the United States and North Korea. Of course we are not going to negotiate that through the media. We intend to discuss that directly with the DPRK, but we do have a number of initiatives that we would like to look at as we begin the process of denuclearization in North Korea “, said Beigun.
Biegun spoke to media after his meeting with his South Korean counterpart, Lee Do-hoon. Biegun is on a four day visit to Seoul from Wednesday. He said that humanitarian assistance is exempted from the sanctions.
