North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-Un has extended a rare invitation to South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in to visit Pyongyang.

Kim Eui-kyeom, South Korean president’s spokesman, said at a news conference in Seoul on Saturday that the North Korean delegation delievered the invitation letter at a landmark high-level meeting at the presidential palace in Seoul.

The delegation, which includes Kim Jong-Un’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, is in South Korea for the Winter Olympics.

“Chairman Kim Jong Un’s envoy Kim Yo-jong delivered a letter expressing a willingness to improve relations,” the presidential spokesman said.

“She also delivered a message from Kim Jong-Un that he is willing to meet President Moon Jae-in in the near future and that he hopes President Moon visits the North at a convenient time.”

The president responded by saying that the two sides should work on establishing the right conditions to realise the meeting, according to the spokesman.

The North Korean delegation arrived in the South on Kim Jong-Un’s private plane on Friday via Incheon international airport to attend the opening ceremony of the Pyongchang Winter Olympics where Seoul and Pyongyang are represented by joint teams.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.

“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
