Kim confirmed N. Korea willing to hold summit with US: Xinhua

North Korea's Kim Jong Un confirmed that his nuclear-armed regime was willing to hold a summit with Washington during talks with China's President Xi Jinping in Beijing, the official Xinhua news agency said Wednesday.

"The DPRK is willing to have dialogue with the United States and hold a summit of the two countries," Xinhua cited Kim as saying during his visit to China which ended Wednesday, using the initials of North Korea's official name.

South Korea announced earlier this month that Kim had offered to meet US President Donald Trump but Pyongyang had not officially confirmed or denied the proposed summit.
