The unnamed
diplomatic source was quoted as saying it was known that Pyongyang and
Washington were in talks to hold a senior-level dialogue, noting that given
the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's schedule, the possible date for the
high-level talks would be from January 17-18.
Yonhap
estimated that there was a possibility for Kim Yong Chol, vice chairman of
the DPRK's ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) Central Committee, to visit
Washington from January 17-18 to discuss with Pompeo the date and venue for
the second summit between top DPRK leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald
Trump.
Kim and
Trump already expressed their willingness to meet again after holding the
first-ever DPRK-US summit in Singapore in June last year.
Pompeo and
his DPRK counterpart were supposed to hold a meeting in New York in November
last year, but it was cancelled at the last minute.
