Kim Hyo-sun reports.
North Korea and the U.S. ended their three-day working-level talks in Sweden to prepare for the second summit between their leaders.
U.S. Special Representative Stephen Biegun left the convention located in a remote area northwest of Stockholm Monday morning local time.
Arriving at a hotel in the Swedish capital,... Biegun said he had a nice meeting with his counterpart.
Have you had a nice one? Was it nice?
"It was nice."
Later in the day, a vehicle carrying North Korea's vice foreign minister Choe Son-hui also left the venue.
South Korea's chief nuclear envoy Lee Do-hoon also took part in the three-way talks to seek a breakthrough on denuclearization.
Although little is known about the outcome of the meeting as of now,... the fact the meeting ended earlier than anticipated could signal that significant progress was made.
As the delegations of the three countries are scheduled to leave Sweden on Tuesday,... there's also the possibility of them sitting down for additional talks in Stockholm.
Now, all eyes are on what steps Pyeongyang and Washington will take before their leaders meet face-to-face late next month.
