Considerable Chance for Trump-Kim Meeting Next Week, S Korea Says

South Korea's unification minister says talks could resume if US drops denuclearization demands as Trump arrives for APEC summit with 2019 meeting as precedent.

  • On Friday, Seoul said there is a considerable chance President Donald Trump will meet North Korea's Kim Jong-un next week during the APEC summit, with Trump arriving Wednesday for the forum.
  • With both leaders signalling interest, Kim said last month he was open to talks if the United States dropped its denuclearisation demand, and Trump hopes to meet Kim again possibly this year.
  • US media reported administration officials privately discussed setting up a meeting, and South Korea's unification minister Chung Dong-young said North Koreans spruced up areas near the Joint Security Area while tours were halted by South Korea and the United Nations Command.
  • Seoul urged the two leaders not to let the chance 'slip away'; Chung said, `I don't want to miss even a one percent chance` and emphasized the need for a decision.
  • Their prior meeting took place at Panmunjom in the Joint Security Area , the only place in the Demilitarized Zone where soldiers from both sides face each other regularly.
