  4. The US and North Korea commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.

Having acknowledged that the US-North Korea summit - the first in history - was an epochal event of great significance and overcoming decades of tensions and hostilities between the two countries and for the opening of a new future, Trump and Kim commit to implement the stipulations in this joint statement fully and expeditiously.

The US and North Korea commit to hold follow-on negotiations led by the US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, and a relevant high-level North Korea official, at the earliest possible date, to implement the outcomes of the US-North Korea summit.
