North Korean leader Kim Jong-un offered to give up his nuclear weapons during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing if Seoul and Washington take "phased" steps for peace and stability, according to Chinese media reports.
"We voluntarily offered dialogue to the South and the United States, and have since taken appropriate steps to ease tension on the peninsula," Kim was quoted as saying during the summit by China Central Television (CCTV) and Xinhua News Agency, Wednesday. Kim returned to Pyongyang the same day after a four-day visit to Beijing
"Once the U.S. and South Korea take phased and simultaneous measures in response to our peace efforts, the issue of denuclearization of the peninsula can be resolved," the young dictator said.
