The BRICS nations, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, support efforts towards complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, as follows from a joint statement of the BRICS foreign ministers that was posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website on Friday.

During his visit to South Korea on June 30, US President Donald Trump visited the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the border with North Korea where he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in the border village of Panmunjeom. Later, Trump said they had agreed to resume working-level consultations on denuclearization within two or three weeks.
