At the summit in Hanoi, the two sides could discuss returning the remains of fallen U.S. soldiers.
The Coalition of Families of Korean War and Cold War POWs told Radio Free Asia,... that it got a confirmation from the U.S. Department of Defense... that the two leaders will cover the issue during their talks in the Vietnamese capital.
At last year's summit in Singapore, Pyeongyang promised to repatriate U.S. war remains, then sent 55 cases back two months later.
No additional remains were excavated or sent back since then.
The coalition estimates the remains of around five-thousand-three-hundred American soldiers killed during the Korean War are still in North Korea.
