Seoul : The top nuclear negotiators of South Korea and Japan held phone talks on Tuesday to explore measures for progress in stalled denuclearization efforts, Seoul’s Foreign Ministry said.
Noh Kyu-duk, the special representative for Korean Peninsula peace and security affairs, and his Japanese counterpart Takehiro Funakoshi shared their assessments of the regional security situations and discussed ways to achieve lasting peace, according to the Ministry.
The two sides agreed to closely work together for the early resumption of dialogue with North Korea, Yonhap News Agency reported.
