North Korean leader Kim Jong Un raised the possibility of a meeting with South Korean President Park Geun Hye for the first time, even as relations remain chilled by his pursuit of a nuclear arsenal.
“There is no reason why the highest-level talks cannot be held, depending on the mood and environment,” Kim said in a new year speech broadcast today on the Internet. “If South Korea truly wants talks and improvement in relations, the suspended high-level contact can resume and talks on specific matters can also be held.”
