STR/AFP/Getty Images Kim Jong Un said North Korea would "refrain" from further missile or nuclear testing. The message was delivered in Washington by South Korea's chief envoy that met with Kim earlier this week. North Korea launched nearly two dozen missiles last year, including a one that could theoretically reach the continental US, and completed its sixth nuclear test. In doing so North Korea said it had achieved its goal of becoming a nuclear state and has not launched a missile since, so its new pledge may be unsurprising. North Korean leader Kim Jong said he would "refrain" from further nuclear or missile testing in a historic message to US President Donald Trump. South Korea's chief envoy, and head of its national security office Chung Eui-yong, met with Kim earlier this week in Pyongyang, and relayed a message from Kim to Trump on Thursday.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: HENRY BLODGET: The NRA's extremism hurts gun owners, NRA members, and AmericaSee Also:South Korea: Trump's 'maximum-pressure policy brought us to this juncture' in announcement of talks with Kim Jong-unKim Jong Un hosted a 4-hour meeting with South Korea and now wants to 'write a new history' of unificationNorth Korea reportedly 'laundered' coal through Russia in an apparent breach of sanctionsSEE ALSO: South Korean leaders announce unprecedented invitation for Trump to meet Kim Jong-un in North Korea
