President Moon would visit Pyongyang in the fall.<br /> But there have been reports recently that Moon and Kim could meet as soon as this month... to try to find a breakthrough in the North Korea-U.S. nuclear negotiations, which have slowed down because of differences between the two about formally ending the Korean War.<br /><br /> Another major topic at the high-level talks next week, according to Seoul, will be how well the two sides have been implementing the April summit agreement, dubbed the Panmunjom Declaration.<br /> They'll also talk about promoting inter-Korean exchanges, which could involve events like a concert by North Korean performers... and inter-Korean basketball games, this time in Seoul.<br />Oh Jung-hee, Arirang News. <br />
