US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has expressed hope that both Washington and Pyongyang will demonstrate more "creative" approaches at the denuclearisation talks, offering ideas that have not been raised before, APA reports citing Sputnik.

"I hope the North Koreans will come to the table with ideas that they didn’t have the first time. We hope we can we be a little more creative too", he said.

The secretary of state added that the US goal of achieving full and verifiable denuclearisation of North Korea remained unchanged.

In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Pompeo pointed out that the 30 June talks between US President Donald Trump and North Korea's chairman Kim Jong-un, when the former briefly stepped over the demarcation line into North Korean soil, had given the United States "another chance to sit down with North Korea and have another conversation".
