Top North Korean official and right-hand man to the country’s leader Kim Jong-un has met US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in New York to discuss a historic summit.
The official, Gen Kim Yong-chol, dined with Pompeo after flying in from China and the two are scheduled to meet again on Thursday.
He becomes the most senior North Korean official to visit the United States in nearly two decades.
US President Donald Trump previously cancelled the 12 June summit but both sides have since made fresh efforts to hold it as planned.
The historic meeting, scheduled to hold in Singapore, would be the first between sitting US and North Korean leaders.
