Democratic Party (DP) leader Lee Jae-myung said Thursday that Seoul could be bypassed in potential dialogue between Washington and Pyongyang and that it would be important to convince the North to return to talks for a path conducive to global peace.

South Korea said denuclearization was still the goal after President Donald Trump used a phrase that could imply recognition of North Korea as a nuclear-armed state.
