国内英语资讯:China offers constructive help for Korean Peninsulas peace process: S. Korean FM

She repeatedly said South Korea's goal is the nuclear-free Korean Peninsula, noting that DPRK top leader Kim also repeated his commitment to the peninsula's complete denuclearization.

"There has to be a comprehensive roadmap" for the denuclearization, said Kang expressing her anticipation for the DPRK and the United States to draw it up in the dialogue table.

Guaranteeing the DPRK's security should be included in the denuclearization process, said she without elaborating further.

Regarding the inter-Korean relations, the foreign minister said the ties between South Korea and the DPRK were influenced by the DPRK-U.S. relations following the Hanoi summit.

However, she noted that regular exchanges were still happening between the two Koreas through various channels such as the joint inter-Korean liaison office in the DPRK's border town of Kaesong that opened last September for the round-the-clock communications.

Kang said South Korea made efforts to "revitalize both tracks" between the two Koreas and between the DPRK and the United States, citing the scheduled visit by Stephen Biegun, U.S. special representative for DPRK affairs, to Seoul next week.

Following the Hanoi summit, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said he will push for his fourth summit with the DPRK leader "in any place and formality at the North Korea (DPRK)'s convenience."

Moon received the message from Trump, who asked the South Korean president to convey it to the DPRK leader, during their Washington summit last month.
