STEPANAKERT, APRIL 18, ARTSAKHPRESS:The highly unusual visit was to lay the groundwork for a direct meeting between US President Donald Trump and Kim over North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme, according to the Washington Post, which broke the story Tuesday.

As France 24 reports, the highly unusual, clandestine mission was conducted over the Easter weekend, soon after Pompeo was nominated to be the next US Secretary of State, according to the Post and the Associated Press.

Trump had earlier alluded to the meeting when he said the US and North Korea were holding direct talks at "extremely high levels".
