DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - North Korea must make concrete pledges towards curbing its nuclear weapons programme, such as dismantling its main nuclear complex and allowing international inspections to confirm the process, when leader Kim Jong Un meets U.S. President Donald Trump as soon as next month, South Korea's foreign minister said.

Kang Kyung-wha told Reuters at the World Economic Forum in Davos that she is optimistic that North Korea will agree to concrete steps towards abandoning its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes, developed in violation of United Nations resolutions.
