a former nuclear negotiator with pyongyang is holding talks with north korean officials to prepare for the summit meanwhile south korea says its president could also have a seat at the table it comes after moon surprise meeting with kim at the demilitarized zone on saturday well let's get more on the latest development andrew thomas is joining us live from the south korean capital so what more do we know andrea about kim yong chore and his visit to washington. well both yonhap news agency here in south korea and kyoto news in japan are reporting that this man is only as way to washington and he's significant because he has been important in the build up to the summit so far he met with much of the state department in pyongyang earlier this month he was also there at the surprise summit on saturday between kim jong un and president moon of south korea and he's seen as a very senior figure essentially heads the department that oversees into korean

relations from the north korean side he's seen as a very important figure for these talks and it's thought that he's going to washington he's probably meeting my pompei who is affectively his counterparts in all these talks essentially they are both the number twos in their respective governments the state department head in the u.s. of course and the deputy in essence on this issue anyway to kim jong un here so he's significant at the same time the talks going on in singapore on the just six and agenda talks we think is still going on on tuesday inside north korea between the u.s. delegation who were seen leaving their hotel in seoul about three hours ago now all very secretive i went out through a back and entrance of the hotel to avoid the waiting journalists they are thought to be inside north korea now talking about the agenda and so very much looks like andrew the summit is going to go ahead for now anyway and aside from that summit we had donald trump speaking with the japanese prime minister about a possible meeting between those two about this issue. you know we expect that

those two will probably meet in canada at the g. seven summit that is that they held on june the eighth it's also possible that are they might go to singapore to try and get in the transit just before he walked into the room with kim jong il if that summit happens and at the same time we know from a source here at the blue house in seoul that president moon is very keen to be in a room with donald trump and kim jong il at the same time probably not that first boy lateral big summit meeting if it happens on the twelfth of june but possibly even the hours afterward still in singapore so he's very keen to be there as well and now we hear that the singaporean prime minister after all the two are probably going to me or in his country he wants to talk about the whole drama and kim jong un in advance so all eyes are definitely still on singapore june the twelfth if it goes ahead and it's looking increasingly likely that it will and thank you very much for that for now that is andrew thomas with the very latest joining us live from seoul thank you. but to italy now where the president has appointed enter and
