North Korean leader Kim Jong-un plans to visit Seoul in December, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency quoted the chief of South Korean conglomerate CJ Group Sohn Kyung- shik as saying.
Kyung-shik was a member of the South Korean delegation that accompanied President Moon Jae-in this week for his three-day trip to North Korea.
He joined the delegation as the head of the Korea Employers Federation, a major business lobby.
During a joint press conference after the third summit, Kim said he made a promise to visit Seoul “in the near future.”
Moon later added that what Kim meant by the “near future” was “this year.”
“Kim Jong-un said he will come to Seoul in December,” Sohn told reporters in New York on Friday (US time), adding that the exact date and his itinerary appeared not to be fixed and it is upon Moon’s invitation.
