SEOUL/MOSCOW -- Russia wants to restore six-party negotiations to denuclearize North Korea that would include Moscow along with Japan, the U.S. and China, its foreign minister said Thursday, following a meeting with his South Korean counterpart.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called for the revival of the six-party talks, which would include the four countries plus the two Koreas. His meeting with South Korean Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong, the first since mid-2019, came as Pyongyang broke a yearlong hiatus on ballistic missile tests earlier Thursday.
