North and South Korea have agreed to hold their first summit in more than a decade in late April, the South’s presidential office said on Tuesday, according to media reports. The announcement comes after a senior delegation from South Korea met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang on Monday, raising hopes for better relations between the two Koreas. North Korea will suspend all weapons testing during the summit in April and has shown a clear intent to denuclearize, a South Korean delegate said, according to media reports. North Korea also said it was open to talking to the U.S. about scrapping nuclear weapons and normalize ties, according to the South Korean delegate.
