UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres today hailed as "important milestone" the agreement reached between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, appealing to the global community to back the complete denuclearisation on the Korean Peninsula.
After the summit in Singapore, Kim pledged to work toward the "complete denuclearisation" of the Korean peninsula in return for security guarantees from the US, as Trump wrapped up the meeting with outcomes that could ease tensions and reshape the geopolitics of the Asia-Pacific region.
A statement issued by Guterres' spokesperson said he welcomed the summit as an "important milestone in the advancement of sustainable peace and the complete and verifiable denuclearisation on the Korean Peninsula."
"Yesterday's conflict does not have to be tomorrow's war," Trump, 71, said following more than four hours of intense talks with Kim, 34, which he described as "honest, direct and productive."
