North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has made his first direct mention of a planned summit with U. S. President Donald Trump, addressing the issue at a meeting of the ruling party’s Politburo, state-run media reported Tuesday.
The dispatch published by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency, said that Kim had “made a report on the development of the recent situation on the Korean peninsula” during the meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea’s Politburo on Monday.
The North Korean leader discussed the “prospect of the DPRK-U. S. dialogue” as well as “strategic and tactical issues to be maintained” by the party, “including the future policy of international relations and the orientation corresponding to them,” according to KCNA.
DPRK is the acronym for the North’s formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
In his report, KCNA said Kim had also made a “profound analysis and appraisal” of the development of inter-Korean ties, and discussed the April 27 summit that will see him visit the border truce village of Panmunjom for a landmark meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
