South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had their first phone conversation Saturday afternoon on the outcome of the inter-Korean summit.
South Korea's foreign ministry said Sunday that Kang explained to Pompeo the achievements of the summit meeting... and the candid exchanges between the leaders of the two Koreas,... including North Korea's pledge to work toward complete denuclearization.
Kang also congratulated Pompeo on his recent appointment and said she was delighted to be able to work with him... at a time when all eyes are on the Korean Peninsula.
In response, Pompeo, who was visiting Brussels at the time, expressed gratitude and said despite being on his first visit overseas as Secretary of State he called Kang considering the importance of the situation in the Korean Peninsula.
He also vowed to work closely with her to resolve the North Korea nuclear issue.
