K im Jong-un has cleared his schedule for three days in late December and will use the time for a landmark visit to Seoul, according to a former South Korean government minister.
Jeong Se-hyun, the South’s former unification minister, said in a radio interview that he expects the North Korean leader to travel to Seoul on December 18, the day after the anniversary of the death of his father in 2011.
A three-day visit from the 18th would fall exactly three months after Moon Jae-in, the South Korean president, travelled to Pyongyang for a state visit and Mr Jeong said that he believes that the two governments are already in secret talks to arrange the visit .
Mr Moon has made no secret of his desire for his North Korean counterpart to visit Seoul and earlier this week said it is still a “possibility” before the end of the year.
