Moon, Kim to hold 3rd summit in Pyongyang in September

South and North Korea will hold a third summit between their leaders in Pyongyang “before the end of September,” the South’s Unification Ministry said on Monday. The two sides however failed to fix the date. “We agreed to hold an inter-Korean summit within September in Pyongyang” the two Koreas said in a joint press statement issued after the meeting. “We also reviewed the implementation situations of the Panmunjom Declaration and held consultations in a sincere manner on matters related to its more active enforcement,” they added, referring to the agreement reached at the historic April summit. The agreement was reached during high-level talks between the two sides at the Panmunjom border village on Monday. South Korean leader Moon Jae-in and his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong-un had their first summit at Panmunjom on April 27 and a second summit at the same venue on May 26.
