A South Korean businessman has said that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is planning to visit Seoul in December this year. Sohn Kyung-shik, who is the chief of South Korean conglomerate CJ Group, was part of the delegation that accompanied President Moon Jae-in during his visit to North Korea for the meeting with Kim earlier this week.

Yonhap News Agency quoted Sohn as saying, "Chairman Kim Jong-un said he will come to Seoul in December." He, however, added that the exact date has not been finalised, and it would depend on the timing of South Korean government's invitation.
