New Delhi: North Korea and South Korea that have recently struck accord after years of rivalry, have agreed today to hold a summit in Pyongyang in September, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported. As per the agency, the two sides agreed to hold a South-North summit in Pyongyang in September as planned. However a precise date was not yet announced. It was during the first historic summit between Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae In, in April  when it was agreed that Moon will cross border to visit Pyongyang the next time during autumn. Today’s talk that were held at the northern side of the truce village in the Demilitarized Zone, were proposed by North Korea. Last week the North had lashed out against US for pushing ahead with sanctions. The hard hitting sanctions have however kept stead the economic ties between the two countries. Moon had played a key role in the Trump-Kim Singapore meeting, which was hailed as historic breakthrough by Trump. However,  the nuclear-armed North has since criticised Washington for its "gangster-like" demands of complete, verifiable and irreversible disarmament. Little progress has been made by the North on the key issue of its denuclearisation.
