Nuclear issue, drills high on summit agenda

Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and continued defusing of military tension are expected to be high on the agenda of the upcoming summit between Pyongyang and Seoul, set for Tuesday to Thursday.

Im Jong-seok, chief of staff of Republic of Korea President Moon Jae-in, said at a news conference on Monday that Moon and Kim Jong-un, top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, will sit face-to-face at least twice during their third summit in Pyongyang. He said the two leaders primarily will discuss the implementation of denuclearization.

Im said Moon will make efforts to encourage the DPRK and the United States to rapidly resume sincere talks in a bid for the DPRK to advance denuclearization and the US to take corresponding measures.
