조명균 "북미간 비핵화 입장차 여전히 커…좁히기 불가능 아냐"
South Korea's unification minister says... North Korea and the U.S. still have a wide difference in views on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,... but it's possible to narrow that gap.
Meeting with the EU ambassadors to Seoul on Wednesday,... Cho Myoung-gyon said... even after Pyongyang and Washington agreed to hold a summit,... they weren't well aware of each other's stances and therefore had some temporary ups-and-downs.
But Cho said President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un are both taking part in the ongoing discussions with a top-down approach,... raising the possibility that the two sides could find some middle ground.
The minister added... the Seoul government thinks it's best to strike the deal at once... to sort out North Korea's denuclearization and the U.S. guarantee of regime security.
