북미정상회담 위한 준비 빠르게 이뤄지고있어,... 판문점에서는 어떤 의제로, 싱가폴에선 문제로 만나나?

North Korea and the U.S. appear to be back at work making preparations for their summit.
Already a number of working-level talks are held between the two sides.
Lee Ji-won zooms in on what could be covered during these meetings.
It's the second day of secretive meetings between the U.S. and North Korea on the northern side of Panmunjom.
The delegations are reportedly led by the former U.S. ambassador to South Korea and former nuclear negotiator, Sung Kim,... and from North Korea, Choe Son-hui, the regime's vice foreign minister and a former director of her ministry's North American department.

Both are experts in their fields, so it's expected that they'll discuss the agenda and details of the Pyongyang-Washington summit, including North Korea's denuclearization and a security guarantee for the regime.
In fact, South Korea's Yonhap news cited a foreign affairs source, reporting that the talks will center on how both sides see and define "denuclearization."
Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported Monday, citing U.S. officials,... that Washington is asking Pyongyang to first transfer the 20 nuclear warheads it is believed to have... to somewhere outside of its borders as soon as possible.

This is in line with what White House National Security Adviser John Bolton said a few weeks ago when he suggested that North Korea's nuclear weapons be dismantled and shipped to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, as was done in his preferred "Libya model."

But some also say that the talks could depart from the Libya model, Trump having said he would not take that approach,... and instead focus on his "Trump model."
This could mean the North counter-proposes that it first give up its inter-continental ballistic missiles,... the weapons that would theoretically enable it to strike the U.S..
Trump last week had also, for the first time, hinted at the possibility of accepting a "phased-in" disarmament for North Korea.

Meanwhile, as confirmed by White House press Secretary Sarah Sanders, an advance team of White House and State Department officials, reportedly led by Deputy chief of staff Joe Hagin, is believed to have left for Singapore on Sunday to prepare for the Kim-Trump summit.
And a high-ranking North Korean official, Kim Chang-son, who heads the regime's State Affairs Commission Secretariat, appears to have gone to Singapore as Hagin's counterpart.
The North's delegation was spotted in Beijing airport Monday morning, and is believed to have taken a Singapore flight in the afternoon, according to local sources.
And since the two sides are meeting in the city-state that'll host the possible summit, it's expected that they'll discuss protocol and details of the schedule.
