North Korea announced that it stops all nuclear and missile tests
North Korea's announcement that it is halting nuclear and missile tests has received a broad international welcome.
Leader Kim Jong-un said further tests were not needed, as the North had demonstrated it had nuclear weapons.
Donald Trump described the move as "good news" for the world, and South Korea said it was meaningful progress.
The EU said it was "positive", but called for complete denuclearisation. North Korea is preparing for historic summits with South Korea and the US.
Early on Saturday Kim Jong-un said: "From 21 April, North Korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles."
The surprise announcement, relayed by the country's KCNA news agency, also said a test site would be shut down.
Welcoming it on Twitter, Mr Trump said he was looking forward to a face-to-face meeting with Mr Kim in June.
