청와대 '가을 남북정상회담 장소, 평양에만 국한되지 않아'

The latest on the summit is that it's not necessarily going to happen in Pyongyang, even though that's what the April summit agreement said.
According to South Korea's presidential office, other options are open.
Some details, including the summit location, could be worked out in those high-level talks on Monday.
Shin Se-min with the details.
"Potential locations for the summit are not limited to the North Korean capital of Pyongyang,..." is what the spokesperson for the South Korean Presidential Office said Friday... while fielding questions about the meeting tentatively scheduled for this fall.
The joint declaration from the first summit in April states that the summit should happen in the regime's capital,... but the Blue House spokesperson's remarks open up the possibility that the North might suggest other locations.
He then tossed the ball to the officials attending next Monday's high-level talks,... saying the details of the summit, including the locations the North prefers, will be narrowed down by them.
Despite agreeing in April to a Pyongyang summit, President Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un went ahead with a surprise meeting in May at the truce village of Panmunjom, but that time on the Northern side.
As for the third summit's date -- the spokesman said that'll be sketched out after Monday's talks,... commenting that it's too early to discuss the schedule in detail.
The top office confirmed that the delegations for Monday, although still being worked out, will include a representative from the Blue House.
And while preparing for those talks, the spokesman said the governments of South Korea and the U.S. are in close consultations... on issues including the declaration of a formal end to the Korean War.
