SOUTH Korean President Moon Jae In suggested a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un could be possible yesterday if “conditions” were met.
His comments followed significant diplomatic breakthroughs at bilateral talks in the border demilitarised zone.
Mr Moon told a televised press conference in Seoul: "I keep myself open to any meeting including a summit” and would push for further talks.
"To have a summit, some conditions must be established," he said without specifying them.
He reiterated that "denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula is the path to peace and our goal."
Tuesday’s talks were ostensibly on North Korea’s participation in next month’s Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, but led to the reopening of a military hotline and agreement to resume military de-escalation talks.
North Korea has agreed to send athletes and cheerleaders to the event, while Seoul has said it will temporarily lift some sanctions to allow attendance.
