(MENAFN) South Korean leader Kim Jong Un has met with senior South Korean government officials for the first time and says it is his "firm will to vigorously advance" inter-Korean ties and pursue reunification.
A 10-member South Korean delegation led by National Security Office head Chung Eui-yong travelled to the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, on Monday aspiring to urge the country and the US to talk to one another.
Washington and Pyongyang have been having disagreement for months over the North's nuclear and missile programs, with US President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un trading insults and threatening war.
The North's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said: "Hearing the intention of President Moon Jae In for a summit from the special envoy of the south side, (Kim Jong Un) exchanged views and made a satisfactory agreement."
