U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived in Pyongyang on Friday for his third visit to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to press for further progress in the denuclearization process following the Trump-Kim summit in June in Singapore.
In Pyongyang, Pompeo met Kim Yong Chol, a senior aid to DPRK leader Kim Jong Un who played a central role with Pompeo in arranging last month's Singapore summit, Reuters has reported.
This is Pompeo's first overnight stop in the DPRK.
His high-stakes goal is to help convert Pyongyang's promises of denuclearization into concrete action.
