Pyongyang, North Korea (CNN) -- New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson provided North Korea with a series of proposals Saturday in what he described as a "good meeting" with the country's chief nuclear negotiator.
Richardson declined to provide details about his proposals, and it was unclear how North Korea responded to them.
Saturday's hour-and-a-half meeting with Kim Gye Gwan, North Korea's chief nuclear negotiator and the man who invited Richardson to North Korea, was the latest stop on a four-day trip aimed at easing tensions in the region.
"Kim Gye Gwan basically told Richardson he didn't sleep last night because of the tensions on the Korean peninsula. It's a very serious situation," said CNN's Wolf Blitzer, who is traveling with the governor in North Korea.
Richardson told Blitzer that he made a series of proposals in the meeting "that he thinks if implemented could ease the crisis, which by all accounts right now is the most serious crisis on the Korean peninsula since the 1953 armistice which ended the Korean war". CNN
