U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday local time that the U.S. and North Korea are having extended conversations about denuclearization, such as particular nuclear facilities and weapons system.
Speaking to Fox News, the top U.S. diplomat said the Trump administration is working diligently to achieve many outcomes regarding denuclearization and added that negotiations are underway, although the details were not provided to the press.
South Korea's unification minister said Monday the government will beef up efforts to reconnect families separated for decades since Korean War in various ways in the follow-up negotiations with North Korea.
Cho Myung-gyon was speaking to a group of divided families who jointly celebrated the Chuseok holiday at Imjingak park in Paju, just south of the demilitarized zone separating two Koreas.
Cho said the government will seek various ways to check if separated relatives are still living, allow them to visit their hometowns and pay tribute to their ancestors' graves in the follow-up meetings with the North.
Last month, Seoul and Pyongyang resumed their joint events to reunite separated families in the Mount Kumgang resort on the North Korean eastern coast for the first time in nearly three years.
Still, tens of thousands remain separated from their family members since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended in a truce.
During their third summit last week, the leaders of the two Koreas agreed make joint efforts to declare a formal end to the war by the end of this year.
