North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to meet the South’s President Moon Jae-in “frequently” next year to discuss denuclearization of the peninsula in a rare letter sent to Seoul, Moon’s office said Sunday. During Moon’s visit to Pyongyang in September, Kim promised to pay a return visit to the South’s capital Seoul “at an earliest date,” sparking speculation he may visit by the end of this year. The North’s leader “expressed a strong determination to visit Seoul while watching future situation,” Kim Eui-kyeom told reporters. The two neighbors technically remain at war after the 1950-53 Korean War ended with a ceasefire instead of a peace treaty. Trump said last week that he was “looking forward” to his second summit with Kim, which the US says may take place early next year.
