Providing that there are no more hiccups,... North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump will be locked in talks in Singapore this time next week.
Lots of pre-summit prep is going on behind the scenes -- not only in Singapore, but at the inter-Korean border.
For more on this... our Foreign Ministry correspondent Lee Ji-won joins us in the studio today.
Hi Ji-won.
Hello Ji-yoon.
So it seems this summit is definitely going ahead now?
Ji-yoon, in the report we just played, we saw White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirm the time for the historic summit,...adding that much progress had been made recently.
"We feel like things are continuing to move forward, and good progress has been made, and we're continuing to prepare for the president's summit."
Now, although we don't know the specifics of the talks underway now, it's expected they are onto the fine details,... as many experts have pointed out that the larger framework was finalized with the Vice Chairman of North Korea's ruling Workers' Party Central Committee, Kim Yong-chol's recent visit to the United States.
