South Korea Vice-Foreign Minister Lim Sung-nam admitted on Monday that the U.S.-North Korea agreement made in Singapore on June 12 provided the structure on which a full agreement will need to be built. The minister was responding to critics who have charged that Pyongyang has not yet conceded its nuclear ambitions, despite the appearance of a successful summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
In a joint statement with Trump following the summit on June 12, Kim promised that he will commit to “complete denuclearization” of the Korean Peninsula, though no specific details such as a timeline or method for disarmament were given.
