US-NKorea talks resume in New York: AFP

NEW YORK, May 31, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
resumed talks in New York on Thursday with a top North Korean official as the
pair work to salvage next month’s nuclear summit between Donald Trump and Kim
Jong Un, an AFP journalist on the scene said.

Kim Yong Chol, considered the North Korean leader’s right-hand man, is the
most senior official from Pyongyang to visit the United States in 18 years.

He and Pompeo shook hands shortly after 9:00 am (1300 GMT) and began their
talks over breakfast, with four people on each side.
