WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th January, 2019) US and North Korean positions on denuclearization of the peninsula seem to be drawing closer, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov told reporters.

"It seems to me their [US and North Korean] positions started getting closer," Morgulov said on Friday after talks with US diplomats in Washington.

North Korea, Morgulov said, has signaled readiness to realize the Singapore declaration and denuclearize gradually and simultaneously with US steps. The United States initially demanded that North Korea denuclearize in a unilateral manner, however, now it seems the US colleagues are reconsidering the sequence of actions, he added.
