North Korea said on Saturday that President Donald Trump's offer to meet leader Kim Jong Un at the Korean Demilitarized Zone is a 'very interesting suggestion,' brightening prospects for a third face-to-face meeting between the two leaders.
Trump heads to the DMZ on Sunday, after tweeting from the G-20 in Osaka: 'If Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!'
The North's First Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said that the meeting, if realized, would serve as 'another meaningful occasion in further deepening the personal relations between the two leaders and advancing the bilateral relations.'
Choe still said that North Korea hasn't received an official proposal for the DMZ meeting from the United States. Her comments suggested that North Korea is willing to accept Trump's idea if it gets a formal U.S. offer for the meeting, according to some observers in Seoul.
