MOSCOW (Sputnik) - South Korea will push for trilateral negotiations with North Korea and the United States as a way of resuming Washington-Pyongyang denuclearization talks after the second US-North Korea summit in Hanoi, South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said on Monday.

"We will seek various ways to create a venue for the resumption of North Korea-US dialogue," Kang said at a meeting of National Security Council of South Korea, as quoted by the Yonhap News Agency, adding that these ways would comprise the so-called 1.5-track dialogue with the participation of officials and experts from both Koreas and the United States.

North Korean Defector Diplomat Praises Trump for Conduct at Hanoi Summit
The last meeting between Trump and Kim, long-anticipated by all sides, ended up with no results. As the US president described it, he was forced to walk away after Kim Jong-un demanded that all sanctions be lifted in exchange for de-nuclearisation, but not in the areas Washington wanted: "They were willing to give us areas but not the ones we wanted." The US president stressed he was not ready to go for such a step. However, Trump praised progress in talks and said that negotiations would continue at the level of experts.
