BBC: Kim Jong-un to meet S Korea leader at April summit
The leaders of North and South Korea are due to meet at a summit of the two countries next month, Seoul's envoy has said after a rare trip to Pyongyang.
N Korea's Kim Jong-un also said he was willing to talk to the US about getting rid of nuclear weapons, he said.
There have been previous programmes to halt the North's nuclear ambitions, but it has failed to keep its promises.
It will be the first meeting between the leaders of the two countries for more than a decade.
The two men will meet on the heavily fortified border next month, at the truce village of Panmunjom. The two countries also agreed to open a hotline between the leaders.
