South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said her government would seek exemptions from international sanctions against North Korea to pursue “various” projects with Pyongyang.
Kang told reporters in Seoul that Secretary of State Michael Pompeo would discuss an end-of-war declaration and other offers the U.S. could make North Korea as it attempted to advance stalled nuclear negotiations. North Korea has been demanding the U.S. take “corresponding measures” to its “good-will gestures” such as halting its nuclear or missile tests since last year.
