Statement by Federica MOGHERINI, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the EC on the outcome of the summit between the United States and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea: extracts

SOUNDBITE (English), Federica MOGHERINI, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy / Vice-President of the EC, <p>I believe it is very timely that we discuss the Iran nuclear deal just today. You know that just a few hours ago, the US and the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) ended their summit in Singapore, Today&rsquo;s summit between the two proves that diplomacy and dialogue are the only way forward, in this case against lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula and beyond. And let me say that in more general terms, this is a clear sign that the diplomatic track is often challenging, is often the most difficult to be followed, but it is always the rewarding one.</p>  <p></p>
