Responding to the Kim-Putin summit, the U.S. State Department has once again stressed that the international community is committed to North Korea's final, fully verified denuclearization.
The State Department said Thursday that the U.S. will continue to work closely with its allies and other partners in order to achieve their shared goal of North Korea's F-F-V-D.
It added that, through the Vladivostok summit, Russia should not break away from the strong international cooperation on North Korea... and the State Department urged Pyeongyang to implement denuclearization as soon as possible.
