美朝高級官員會面被推遲大綱
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's planned meeting with a senior North Korean official Thursday in New York City has been postponed.
The State Department issued a statement early Wednesday morning saying the meeting "will now take place at a later date. We will reconvene when our respective schedules permit." The statement did not give a reason why the meeting was called off.
美國國務院週三一早發表聲明說，"會談將稍後舉行，在我們各自的日程允許時"。聲明沒有給出會談推遲的原因。Pompeo was slated to hold talks with Kim Yong Chol, a senior advisor to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. In announcing the meeting earlier this week, the State Department said the two men would discuss "making progress on all four pillars of the Singapore Summit joint statement, including achieving the final, fully verified denuclearization" of North Korea.
蓬佩奧原定與朝鮮領導人金正恩的高級顧問金英哲於星期四在紐約會面。國務院在早些時候宣佈這一計劃的時候表示，兩人將討論"在新加坡峯會的聯合聲明中提出的四項基本原則上取得進展，包括實現最終的、可全面覈實的去核化。"
Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump signed an agreement at their landmark summit in June to rid the Korean peninsula of nuclear weapons, but the two sides have been at odds over the pace of Pyongyang's efforts to end its nuclear weapons program.
美國總統特朗普與金正恩在今年6月曆史性的峯會上簽署一項協議，以消除朝鮮半島核武器，不過雙方在平壤努力去除其核武項目的進展上有意見分歧。North Korea warned last week that it will consider reviving its nuclear weapons program if the United States fails to lift its crippling economic sanctions against the regime. It is also seeking a peace treaty with the United States and South Korea that will formally end the 1950-53 Korean War that split the communist North from the democratic South.
朝鮮上週警告說，如果美國不放鬆針對其政權實施的經濟制裁，將考慮重啓其核武項目。朝鮮同時也在與美國和韓國謀求籤署和平條約，正式結束1950年到1953年的韓戰。那次戰爭使得共產主義朝鮮與民主的韓國分道揚鑣。
