MOSCOW (Sputnik) - South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said on Monday that she expected talks between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, set to be held in Washington on Thursday, to have a "meaningful" outcome for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

"As the presidents meet each other for another dialogue momentum, I expect a meaningful result to come out," Kang told reporters, as quoted by the Yonhap news agency.
