South Korea announced that a summit between the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, and the US President, Donald Trump, is possible "at any time". The declaration was made by Youn, after a closed-door meeting with leaders of the South Korean National Intelligence Service.
Youn stated that, although no concrete facts have been presented about contacts between the two parties, there are signs of dialogue. This position comes at a time of heightened tensions between the United States and North Korea.
The possibility of a direct meeting between Kim and Trump has been discussed internationally as a way to resolve the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula. The international community has been pressing for dialogue that reduces tensions in the region.
The South Korean National Intelligence Service remains as an intermediary in communications between Pyongyang and Washington, facilitating the possible negotiation process between the two countries.
