South Korean President Park Geun-hye said she is willing to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and the country's nuclear weapons program wouldn't be an obstacle to holding the first Korean summit since 2007.
"There are no preconditions," including nuclear disarmament, for a summit between the two countries, Park said Monday at a televised news conference, warning Kim should drop his nuclear pursuit in order to achieve an eventual unification.
Park also urged the North Korean leader to agree to resume the reunions of families that remain separated more than 60 years after the end of the civil war that left the peninsula divided.
