North Korea is not demanding the withdrawal of the U.S. military forces from South Korea in return for its denuclearization, President Moon Jae-in said on Thursday.

It was the first time that Moon, or any public official, confirmed that withdrawal of U.S. forces was not on the North’s list of demands in return for denuclearization.

“North Korea is expressing its intention for complete denuclearization,” said the president during a luncheon meeting at the Blue House with senior executives of 48 media companies.
