U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun is in Pyeongyang to discuss the details of the second North Korea-U.S. summit.
He departed from Seoul on Wednesday for working-level negotiations with his North Korean counterpart.
We have our Park Hee-jun on the line for us at the foreign ministry.....
Hee-jun...what's the latest?

Ji-yoon, it's now day two of Biegun's visit to Pyeongyang.
He's believed to be continuing preparations for the upcoming summit with his new North Korean counterpart Kim Hyok-chol, who is the former ambassador to Spain.

The two sides are aiming to find some common ground between North Korea's demands and the United States' demands.
The North has offered to dismantle its plutonium and uranium enrichment facilities that provide materials for nuclear weapons.
That includes the permanent shutdown of its Yeongbyeon Nuclear Complex.
And it could also offer to destruct its ICBMs.

But that's only if the U.S. takes corresponding measures.
There's the possibility of setting up a joint liaison office in Pyeongyang, declaring an end to the Korean War and providing humanitarian assistance.
But Pyeongyang has been mostly requiring the removal of economic sanctions.
It would be difficult for Washington to remove them right away,... but Biegun did say at Stanford University last week, that the U.S. is preparing a special economic package for Pyeongyang.
And seeing how the North Korean leader highlighted the resumption of the Gaeseong Industrial Complex and Geumgangsan Mountain tours in his New Year's address,... these could also be the possible corresponding measures.

And with less than three weeks remaining until the Vietnam summit,...
the negotiators in Pyeongyang will also have to finalize the exact venue for the talks.
President Trump has only announced that the second summit will be held in Vietnam from February 27th to 28th.
It's seems they have yet to decide whether it will be held in the city of Hanoi or Da Nang.

Now, it's unclear whether the negotiations will be wrapped up today,... or whether they'll continue into the third day.
Because there are a substantial number of issues to discuss.
And without a clear set of agreements,... it would be difficult to ensure the success of the second Kim-Trump summit.
And there is speculation that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may meet Biegun before he departs.
I'll get you up to speed with that,... when we hear more.
Ji-yoon.
