Diplomacy between the United States and North Korea will continue at a working level.
Following a meeting last week, U. S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun will meet his North Korean counterpart Kim Hyok Chol, the special representative for U. S. Affairs of North Korea’s State Affairs Commission, before a second U. S.-North Korea summit.
According to a spokesperson at South Korea’s presidential office, the meeting will take place sometime “in the week beginning Feb. 17 in a third nation in Asia.”
The upcoming summit will be the second meeting between U. S. President Donald J. Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un since their first historic summit in Singapore on June 12,2018. The summit will take place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on February 27 and 28.
“My representatives have just left North Korea after a very productive meeting and an agreed upon time and date for the second Summit with Kim Jong Un,” Trump said in a tweet on Friday, as Biegun wrapped up discussions in Pyongyang.
