North Korean leader's sister, No. 2 man to arrive in Seoul on chartered flight Friday

By Park Si-soo

North Korea’s high-level delegation, including leader Kim Jong-un’s younger sister and the regime’s No.2 man Kim Yong-nam, will arrive in South Korea on a charted flight on Friday, Seoul’s unification ministry said.

The flight will land at Incheon International Airport about 1:30 p.m., the ministry said. The delegation will stay in South Korea until Sunday.

Expectations are running high that South Korean President Moon Jae-in will meet either the younger sister, Kim Yo-jong, or Kim Yong-nam, the North’s nominal head of state, during their stay here.

The plane will return home without standing by at Incheon International Airport and will come back to the South to pick up the delegation on Sunday evening, the ministry said.
