North Korea says inter-Korean summit possible with ‘respect’

In second statement in two days, Kim Yo Jong says North Korea is ready to consider an inter-Korean summit if respect can be assured.

The sister of North Korea’s leader has said Pyongyang is willing to consider another inter-Korean summit if mutual “respect” and “impartiality” between the two countries can be guaranteed.

The statement on Saturday was Kim Yo Jong’s second in two days.

She had urged Seoul on Friday to end its “hostile policies” towards Pyongyang after South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in called for declaring an official end to the state of war with the North.
