January 16, 2018

Pakistan has welcomed talks between North Korea and South Korea.

In a statement issued in Islamabad today [Tuesday], Foreign Office spokesperson  said Pakistan hoped that this new phase of talks between the two sides would help ease tensions in the Korean Peninsula.

It said the goodwill generated by the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics would lead to lasting peace, prosperity, stability, reconciliation and cooperation in the region.

Pakistan has always encouraged the DPRK and Republic of Korea to resume meaningful negotiations and supported all efforts for smooth reunification of the Korean Peninsula including the two Summits between North and South Korea in June 2000 and 2007.
