North and South Korea to discuss plans for 3rd summit
SEOUL — Senior officials from North and South Korea will meet next week to discuss the possibility of a third summit between their countries’ leaders, the South said Thursday.
The North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, and President Moon Jae-in of the South have already met twice this year, in April and in May. South Korean officials have recently expressed interest in holding a third meeting soon, in hopes of breaking an impasse between North Korea and the United States over the dismantling of the North’s nuclear arms program.
Moon has accepted an invitation from Kim to visit Pyongyang, the North’s capital, in the fall.
