North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced he will suspend nuclear and long-range missile tests and plans to close a nuclear test site.
The Korean Central News Agency, which is North Korea's state media agency, made the announcement as the nation's reclusive leader is in ongoing peace talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Kim is also in negotiations to meet with President Trump.
"As the weaponisation of nuclear weapons has been verified, it is not necessary for us to conduct any more nuclear tests," Kim said at a meeting of the Worker's Party of Korea, adding "the northern nuclear test site has completed its mission."
