"They were good conversations".

Pompeo held a joint news conference with South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha a day after he returned from a visit to North Korea with three Americans detained in the isolated nation.

If Kim "chooses the right path", Pompeo said, "there is a future brimming with peace and prosperity for the".

The objective of the visit to Pyongyang Pompeo called "complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula".

In terms of denuclearization, Pompeo said "it's pretty clear what that means", saying "it would be an activity that" made sure "we didn't end up in the same place that we'd ended up before".

"Pompeo said the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula would require a robust verification" program by the United States and other countries.

To accomplish that goal, he said it would involve a "robust verification program" that the USA will undertake with partners around the world.

The visit saw the release of three Americans who had been jailed in North Korea - with the White House describing it as a "gesture of good will" ahead of the summit.

The secretary of state addressed concerns that the US and North Korea have different objectives in mind when considering denuclearization, prompting doubts that the Kim regime will actually be willing to give up the weapons it has already built.

Pompeo and Kang are expected to discuss President Donald Trump's upcoming summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. "Our conversations were warm, we were each representing our two countries" and working to share an understanding of their objectives were, Pompeo said.
