SEOUL, March 6 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has showed willingness to hold talks with the United States about issues including the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, and agreed on the third summit meeting with South Korea in late April, the Blue House of South Korea said Tuesday.
Chung Eui-yong, top national security adviser for South Korean President Moon Jae-in, told a televised press briefing that the DPRK side had expressed its willingness to talk candidly with the United States on the denuclearization issue and to normalize ties between Pyongyang and Washington.
Chung returned home earlier in the day after making a two-day visit to Pyongyang, where he met with top DPRK leader Kim Jong Un on Monday together with four other envoys, including Suh Hoon, director of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), South Korea's spy agency.
