US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Oct 31 that he would meet with the foreign minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea next week to discuss Pyongyang's reported readiness to open its nuke and missile sites for international inspectors, as well as the second summit of the two countries' leaders.

"We do have the intention of President Trump and Chairman Kim getting together before too long, hopefully early in the next year, where we can make a substantial breakthrough in taking down the nuclear threat from North Korea," Pompeo said, without elaborating on the name of his counterpart or where the meeting was to take place.

Yonhap reported, according to multiple diplomatic sources in Washington and Seoul, the high-level talks are being arranged after the US midterm elections on Nov 6, possibly around Nov 9.

However, the State Department declined to confirm that a meeting between Pompeo and his DPRK counterpart will take place.
