That came after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said this week that Washington was ready for direct contact with Pyongyang as long as North Korea did not conduct new missile tests in the run-up to or during talks.

在普京发言前，美国国务卿雷克斯•蒂勒森(Rex Tillerson)本周表示，只要朝鲜不在谈判之前或谈判期间进行新的导弹试验，美国已经做好与朝鲜直接接触的准备。

Mr Putin said Mr Tillerson’s remarks were “a good signal that there are certain shifts underway and that there is a certain recognition of reality both in the US leadership overall and in the State Department.

普京表示，蒂勒森的发言是“是一个很好的信号，表明正在发生一定的转变，美国领导层和美国国务院都对现实有了一定的认识。”
