N Korea’s leader invites South’s president for visit amid Olympic rapprochement

In a major diplomatic overture to Seoul, North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, invites President Moon Jae-in of the South for a visit after senior officials of the two Koreas held rare top-level talks on the sidelines of Winter Olympics.

A spokesman for the presidential Blue House in Seoul said on Saturday that the invitation, delivered by Kim’s visiting sister Kim Yo-jong, expressed the North Korean leader’s willing to meet Moon “at the earliest date possible.”
