Seoul on Friday urged the 2 leaders to not let the prospect “slip away”.
“I do not wish to miss even a 1 per cent probability,” the unification minister mentioned.
“They should decide,” Chung, whose ministry handles fraught relations with the North, added.
Kim and Trump final met in 2019 at Panmunjom within the Joint Safety Space (JSA) within the Demilitarised Zone separating the 2 Koreas – the one place the place troopers from each side face one another regularly.
Whereas no official bulletins of the duo’s assembly have been made, South Korea and the United Nations Command halted tours of the JSA from late October to early November.
Minister Chung mentioned North Koreans have been noticed “sprucing up” areas close to the JSA for the primary time this yr – cleansing, pulling weeds, tidying flower beds and taking photographs round Panmunjom.
