SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — The United States and North Korea will meet again this month in an unidentified Asian country ahead of their leaders’ planned second summit in Vietnam in late February, South Korean officials said Sunday. South Korea’s national security adviser Chung Eui-yong, who met Biegun, reported that U.S.-North Korea diplomacy “is working well,” presidential spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom said. He said a follow-up U.S.-North Korea meeting ahead of the summit will take place in a third country in Asia in the week that begins Feb. 17. U.S.-led diplomacy aimed at getting North Korea to abandon its nuclear program in return for outside concessions has since made little headway. While announcing the specific location for his second summit with Kim, Trump on Friday tweeted that North Korea would someday become “a great Economic Powerhouse” under Kim’s leadership.
