Russia calls for easing of Korea tensions

Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov called for reduced political and military tensions on the Korean peninsula in order to put the stalled six-way nuclear talks with North Korea back on track, Sputnik News reported.

Morgulov had a phone conversation with US Special Representative for North Korea Policy, Sung Kim, who called to discuss a way out of the North Korea nuclear stalemate, according to the report.

“On the Russian side, there was strong conviction that a restart of the six-way process and a diplomatic solution of the Korean nuclear problem can only be initiated in the framework of a military and political detente on the Korean peninsula and around it,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
