Seoul: US, NKorea officials to meet in Asia ahead of summit

Associated Press  

SEOUL, South Korea — The United States and North Korea will meet again this month in an unidentified Asian country ahead of their leaders’ planned second summit in Vietnam in late February, South Korean officials said Sunday. The U.S. special representative for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, visited Pyongyang last week to work out details of the Feb. 27-28 summit in Hanoi between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. South Korea’s national security adviser Chung Eui-yong, who met Biegun, reported that U.S.-North Korea diplomacy “is working well,” presidential spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom said. In Pyongyang, Biegun and Kim Hyok Chol, North Korea’s special representative for U.S. affairs, discussed “advancing Trump and Kim’s Singapore summit commitments of complete denuclearization, transforming U.S.- relations, and building a lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula,” the U.S. State Department said in a statement. While announcing the specific location for his second summit with Kim, Trump on Friday tweeted that North Korea would someday become “a great Economic Powerhouse” under Kim’s leadership.
