THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: Three-way summit between North and South Korea and US likely

South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha hasn't ruled out the possibility of a summit among the leaders of the two Koreas and the United States on the margins of the UN General Assembly slated for September.

She made the remarks during her visit in London for talks with top British officials. Ahead of the UN General Assembly in New York, there has been talk of the possible three-way summit as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been cranking up diplomacy to the outside world to get sanctions relief and ease international isolation.

Asked about the possibility to the formal end to the 1950-53 Korean War could be declared during the UN gathering this autumn, Kang noted the April 27 summit agreement between South Korean president Moon Jae-in and Kim to seek such a declaration within this year.

Touching on US President Donald Trump's recent remarks that there is "no rush" regarding denuclearization negotiations with the North, the foreign minister said that denuclearization process may take some time.
