Foreign Secretary welcomes the constructive
summit in Singapore between US President Trump and North Korean
leader Kim Jong Un.
Foreign Secretary said:
We welcome that President Trump and Kim Jong Un have held a
constructive summit. This is an important step towards the
stability of a region vital to global economic growth and home
to thousands of British Nationals and important UK interests.
The reaffirmation of North Korea’s commitment in the Panmunjom
Declaration to work towards complete denuclearisation of the
Korean Peninsula is a signal that Kim Jong Un may have finally
heeded the message that only a change of course can bring a
secure and prosperous future to the people of North Korea.
There is much work still to be done and we hope Kim continues
to negotiate in good faith towards complete, verifiable and
irreversible denuclearisation. The UK will continue to support
the United States in its efforts to achieve denuclearisation of
the Korean Peninsula.
