U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is making a new swing through Asia this weekend, to meet with Kim Jong-un in Pyongyang.
He's trying to map out the next steps North Korea can take on denuclearization, and what corresponding measures North Korea wants in return from the United States.
He told reporters on a stopover in Alaska he and Kim would probably work out the date and location for a second summit between the two countries, but may not announce those details right away.
Here in Seoul, Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha had some hopeful words for Pompeo's visit, and suggested Washington hold off for now on demanding an inventory of North Korea’s nuclear weapons.
South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said that to reach the complete denuclearization of the North, there is a need to approach the matter differently from the past and believes the U.S. is open to flexibility.
This comes after Kang suggested the U.S. hold off for now from demanding an inventory of North Korea’s nuclear weapons, saying it risks bogging down the negotiations in a subsequent dispute over verification.
In a report published by the Washington Post this week, she said U.S.-North Korea negotiations deteriorated after Pyongyang handed over thousands of pages of documents on its key plutonium-related facilities to the George W. Bush administration in 2008.
She predicts a nuclear inventory will emerge in the future, but that point can be reached more quickly if Pyongyang and Washington build sufficient trust with corresponding measures.
She said exchanging a permanent dismantlement of North Korea's main plutonium facility at Yongbyon for a U.S.-backed declaration formally ending the Korean War would be a huge step forward for denuclearization.
