Korean leaders hold talks in bid to save nuclear summit
SEOUL — The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, met unexpectedly with President Moon Jae-in of South Korea on Saturday to discuss salvaging a canceled summit meeting between Kim and President Trump, a new twist in the whirlwind of diplomacy over the fate of the North’s nuclear arsenal.
The two leaders met for two hours on the North Korean side of Panmunjom, a “truce village” inside the Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Koreas, said Yoon Young-chan, Moon’s spokesman.
“The two heads of state had a frank exchange of views on the implementation of the April 27 summit agreement and for the successful holding of the North Korea-United States summit,” Yoon said.
