SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has invited the South’s President Moon Jae-in for a summit in Pyongyang, Seoul said on Saturday. The invitation, delivered by Kim’s visiting sister Kim Yo-jong, said Kim was willing to meet the South’s leader “at the earliest date possible”, said a spokesman for the presidential Blue House. An inter-Korean summit would be the third of its kind, after Kim’s father and predecessor Kim Jong Il met the South’s Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun in 2000 and 2007 respectively, both of them in Pyongyang. Moon met Kim Yo-jong and the North’s ceremonial head of state Kim Yong-nam for talks and lunch at the Blue House on Saturday. “Special envoy Kim Yo-jong delivered a personal letter” from her brother stating his “wish to improve inter-Korean relations”, said Moon’s spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom.
