North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reached a "satisfactory" agreement with South Korean special envoys over a summit with President Moon Jae-in, the North's state media said Tuesday.


Kim received a letter from Moon delivered by the South's delegation on Monday and exchanged views on ways to ease military tensions and boost dialogue and cooperation, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

"Hearing the intention of President Moon Jae-in for a summit from the special envoy of the south side, he exchanged views and made a satisfactory agreement," the KCNA said in an English statement. It added that Kim gave an important instruction for rapid practical steps for it.

"He also made an exchange of in-depth views on the issues for easing the acute military tensions on the Korean Peninsula and activating the versatile dialogue, contact, cooperation and exchange," the report said.

A 10-member delegation led by Chung Eui-yong, Moon's national security adviser, arrived in Pyongyang on Monday for a two-day visit aimed at brokering dialogue between the United States and the North. Kim had a meeting with the officials and hosted a dinner.

The KCNA report did not mention North Korea's denuclearization and U.S.-N.K. dialogue.

The special envoys' visit reciprocated a trip by the North's high-level delegation, including Kim's sister Yo-jong. The North's team visited the South from Feb. 9-11 for the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

Kim Yo-jong delivered her brother's letter to Moon, which included an invitation for the South's leader to visit Pyongyang at an early date.

Kim Yong-chol, a top North Korean official in charge of inter-Korean affairs, later visited the South for its closing ceremony and expressed North Korea's willingness for talks with the U.S.

The KCNA reported that the North's leader had "openhearted" talks with the South's delegation. The meeting also was attended by Kim Yong-chol and Kim Yo-jong, it added.

The Feb. 9-25 PyeongChang Winter Olympics set the mood for rapprochement on the Korean Peninsula as the North sent a delegation to the Games. The two Koreas held their first formal talks in two years in January and follow-up dialogue for the Olympics.

Kim said that the Winter Olympics helped provide a good atmosphere for reconciliation, unity and inter-Korean dialogue, the KCNA said. (Yonhap)
