U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday praised ongoing “progress” in talks with North Korea made during recent high-level discussions in Washington and Stockholm.

Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland remotely from Washington, the Secretary of State said ongoing discussions with DPRK had been productive, though also maintained there was a lot of work still left to do.

“When Kim Yong Chol visited Washington last week, we made further progress not only in the discussions that he had with the President, but Special Representative Biegun had the opportunity to meet with his newly designated counterpart as well,”
