Block: Korean top hopeful signal

brussels - The summit between the Korean leaders is 'a special and hopeful event.' That is what Foreign Minister Stef Blok said in Brussels in a first reaction to the meeting between the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and the South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

'It is an important signal in the run-up to the summit between Kim Jong-un and President Trump,' says Blok. 'But the final test is whether all commitments can indeed be converted into concrete steps towards nuclear disarmament. '

Blok spoke in Brussels after the meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers. Korea was not on the agenda there, but according to Blok, the ministers talked about it in the corridors.
