中国外交部长王毅即将访问朝鲜

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will travel to neighboring North Korea this week, following a historic summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

China said Wang will visit May 2 and 3 at the invitation of his North Korea counterpart. The brief statement Monday did not include any details about the subject of their meetings.

On Sunday, South Korean officials said Kim plans to invite experts and journalists from Seoul and the United States to observe when North Korea shuts down its nuclear test site in May.

South Korean presidential press secretary Yoon Young-chan, also quoted Kim as saying, "The United States, though inherently hostile to North Korea, will get to know once our talk begins that I am not the kind of person who will use nuclear weapons against the South or the United States across the Pacific."

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told ABC News the best possible outcome for President Donald Trump's planned summit with Kim in three to four weeks would be Pyongyang freeing three Americans it is detaining and agreeing to an "irreversible" and "verifiable" end to its nuclear weapons program.

"We're going to look for actions and deeds," said Pompeo.
