Trump-Kim at Singapore summit
North Korea on Saturday said that they are yet to receive an official request from Trump regarding his meeting with the North Korean leader butthey describedUS President Donald Trump's surprise invitation to meet Kim Jong-un "interesting", reported news agency AFP.
"We see it as a very interesting suggestion, but we have not received an official proposal in this regard," the official KCNA news agency quoted Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui as saying.
"I am of the view that if the DPRK-US summit meetings take place on the division line, as is intended by President Trump, it would serve as another meaningful occasion in further deepening the personal relations between the two leaders and advancing the bilateral relations."
Earlier Trump proposed a meeting with the North Korean leader in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that divides the Korean peninsula between north and south.
Trump suggested in a tweet on Saturday morning that he could meet the North Korean leader while visiting neighbouring South Korea after he leaves the G20 meeting in Osaka, Japan.
“While there, 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 president said in a tweet.
