South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Monday&nbsp;called for officials to try to find a way to restart talks between North Korea and the United States.

Moon presided over a National Security Council (NSC) meeting and said he believes talks will ultimately end in an agreement, but that "it is never desirable for the stalemate to continue for long".

He also told officials to explore ways to proceed with inter-Korean initiatives within the framework of sanctions.

The breakdown of the US-North Korea summit was a blow for Moon, who had hoped eased US&nbsp;sanctions would help lead to a restart of inter-Korean projects including a factory park, key to his vision for a pan-peninsula economic community.

South Korean President Moon asks for resumption of US-North Korea talks

A day after <a href="http://wionews.com/world/north-korea-no-longer-a-nuclear-threat-says-trump-144139">President Trump and Kim Jong-un</a> concluded their talks, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on a visit to South Korea said US hopes for major nuclear disarmament by North Korea by 2020.

Speaking to reporters, Pompeo said he hoped for major disarmament in &nbsp;2-1/2 years, adding that "there will be in-depth verification."

North Korean leader <a href="http://wionews.com/world/north-korea-highlights-trump-concessions-on-war-games-after-summit-144140">Kim Jong-un had concluded an agreement </a>with President Trump on Tuesday during the Singapore summit promising to ensure denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula, however, the fine print of the agreement wasn't clear leading several experts to doubt the timeline of the nuclear disarmament process.

"Not all of that work appeared in the final document. But lots of other places where there were understandings reached, we couldn't reduce them to writing, so that means there’s still some work to do," Pompeo said as he sought to clear doubts about the deal reached in Singapore between Trump and Kim.

"There was a great deal of work done that is beyond what was seen in the final document that will be the place that we will begin when we return to our conversations," the US secretary of state added.

Pompeo said he would stay engaged with the North Korean officials to continue the process started in Singapore on Tuesday, the US secretary said: &nbsp;"I don’t know exactly what the timing will be for our next conversation with the North Koreans. I would anticipate it will be fairly quickly."

President Trump had declared yesterday that the US and South Korea would no longer be conducting war games along the Korean Peninsula. Pompeo who arrived in South Korea on Wednesday will hold a meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Thursday and then hold a trilateral meeting with Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha and Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono.

Although US troops are still stationed in South Korea due to a state of war existing between the two Koreas, but Kim during his meeting with Trump in Singapore had resolved to officially bring the 1950 Korean war to an end.&nbsp;

Chinese President Xi Jinping and his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in have discussed bilateral relationship and achieving peace and denuclearisation on the Korean Peninsula in a telephonic conversation on Friday.

Moon briefed Xi on the feat of the historic inter-Korean Summit, held last week, reported China's state-run news agency.

Moon underscored that the "successful summit has reached broad consensuses on improving the inter-Korean relations, promoting the denuclearisation of the Peninsula and establishing a peace mechanism."

According to the report, the South Korean President praised Xi Jinping's role in helping Seoul and Pyongyang reach an agreement on denuclearisation.

Xi laid emphasis on the bilateral ties, saying that Beijing is willing to boost the relationship between the two countries by enhancing communication with South Korea, deepening pragmatic cooperation, and promoting cultural exchanges.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in held their historic summit last week in Panmunjom n the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), the world's most heavily guarded border, separating the two countries.

In a joint declaration after the talks, the two leaders officially inaugurated a document formally called the 'Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification on the Korean Peninsula'.

The two Koreas agreed to sign a peace treaty formally later this year, ending the six-decades-old war between the two countries.

The South Korean President is also slated to visit Pyongyang later this year, according to a statement released by his presidential office.

Kim Jong-Un on April 21 announced to suspend its nuclear tests and inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) tests.

Following that, on April 29 South Korean President Moon Jae-in's chief press secretary Yoon Young-chan confirmed that Punggye-ri nuclear site will be closed down by May amidst the presence of public and foreign experts from South Korea and the United States.&nbsp
