김혁철-비건 월요일 늦게 실무회담 가져, 막바지 실무협상' 개시할 것으로 보여<br /><br />Working-level officials from the two sides are using these last hours to fine-tune the details of what leaders Kim and Trump will be talking about and what'll be in their agreement.<br />Ji-won, we thought the day was over, but we're hearing that the top negotiators of North Korea and the U.S. just got in?<br />Yes Daniel. Just thirty minutes ago,... U.S. Special Representative for North Korea, Stephen Biegun came back to the hotel, after spending about 8 hours somewhere else.<br />And just five minutes later, his North Korean counterpart, Kim Hyok-chol's car followed in as well. <br />We actually thought the day was over since the two have so far not started their talks this late. <br />But the fact they're meeting at this time has prompted speculation that talks between lower-level officials might have not gone so well. <br />At around 2 in the afternoon, Choe Kang-il, acting director-general for the Foreign Ministry's North American Affairs was here for about two and a half hours. <br />His counterpart is expected to have been Alex Wong, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs.<br />But the late meeting could also mean that Choe and Wong did flesh out the details and the top officials are just giving it a final check.<br />Meanwhile now that Biegun is in,... theres a possibility that he will meet with the Japanese nuclear envoy Kenji Kanasugi, who is still in the hotel,... since he came here two and a half hours ago.<br />JW Marriott Hotel is where President Trump is widely expected to stay. <br />What kind of changes have you seen there so far. <br />Well a source said that Biegun had dropped by the JW Marriott Hotel... since President Trump is expected to arrive in Hanoi late tomorrow. <br />And it seems the security there has gotten tougher too. There were fences around the building, with a lot more security guards and police men. <br />Back to you Daniel.
