S. Korean Envoy to Carry Letter on Denuclearization to North

by Reuters

   SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA --

   South Korea's presidential envoy said Tuesday he will deliver a letter
   from President Moon Jae-in to North Korean counterpart Kim Jong Un when
   he visits Pyongyang on Wednesday to discuss the leaders' third summit
   later this month, Yonhap reported.

   Chung Eui-yong, chief of the national security office at the
   presidential Blue House, said he was seeking to discuss ways to achieve
   complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula as agreed by Moon and
   Kim during their first summit in April.

   He did not elaborate further on the content of the letter.

   Seoul would continue to push for a joint declaration of an end to the
   1950-53 Korean War within this year with the United States, Chung told
   reporters.
