South Korean President Moon Jae-in will dispatch a special envoy to North Korea next week to discuss a scheduled summit with leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang, as well as ways to salvage stalled denuclearization talks with the United States, the presidential Blue House said in a statement Friday.
The yet-to-be-named special envoy was to travel to the North Korean capital on Wednesday, South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted Blue House spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom as saying.
"The special envoy will discuss a wide range of issues, including the date for the upcoming summit and ways to establish peace on the Korean Peninsula," the spokesman said.
