Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria on the outcome of the Summit held between the President of the Republic of Korea Moon Jae-in and the Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Jong-un on 27 April 2018.
The Republic of Bulgaria welcomes the agreements reached at the Republic of Korea - DPRK summit as an important step towards the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula.
We believe that this meeting, during which the opening of a new chapter in inter-Korean relations was announced, will advance the process of reconciliation and achieving peace and stability in Northeast Asia, a key condition for which is the comprehensive, verifiable and irreversible termination of the DPRK's nuclear and missile programmes.
We reaffirm our position for finding a peaceful solution to the situation on the Korean Peninsula through dialogue, and we hope that the forthcoming meeting between US and DPRK leaders will continue and reinforce the positive trend in the development of the situation in the region.
