IAEA welcomes Trump, Kim joint statement
Vienna, June 12 (IBNS): The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Tuesday said it has welcomed the meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore.
It also welcomed the Joint Statement of President Trump and Kim at the Singapore Summit which includes the DPRK’s commitment towards complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
"The IAEA will closely follow the negotiations to be held between the two countries to implement the outcomes of the US-DPRK Summit," the statement issued by the IAEA director said.
"The IAEA stands ready to undertake any verification activities in the DPRK that it may be requested to conduct by the countries concerned, subject to authorization by the IAEA’s Board of Governors," IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said in a statement.
Ending all dilemma, Kim and Trump met in Singapore on Tuesday.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday described his bond with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his country as "special".
Trump said this after signing a joint statement with Kim at the US-North Korea Summit, which was held in Singapore on Tuesday.
Addressing a joint press conference, Trump said: "We developed a very special bond."
Kim on Tuesday assured that the denuclearisation process will begin soon.
During the brief media interaction, Kim said: "The world will see a major change."
Trump, on the other hand, was found praising the US' new friendly ties with North Korea.
2017 witnessed US President Donald Trump slamming North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as the Asian nation continued to conduct several of its missile tests, teasing world peace and tranquillity and often threatening to trigger a war.
The situation became far tensed when North Korea tested an inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) that the nation said was capable of striking US mainland.
The United Nations Security Council imposed strong new sanctions against the Asian nation after its Nov 29 launch of a nuclear-capable weapon.
Trump and North Korea continued to exchange barbs earlier this year too.
