SEOUL - 10 March 2018: South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha will visit the United States to meet her US counterpart Rex Tillerson, the minister said Saturday.

In a meeting with Korean reporters in Hanoi, where she is on a three-day visit, Kang said she will meet her US counterpart to learn more details about Korean envoys' visit to Washington earlier this week to extend an invitation by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to US President Donald Trump, Yonhap news agency reported.

As for a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula, "the US and North Korea should sit face to face," and Seoul is committed to making all-out efforts to make real progress towards denuclearization, the minister said.

"Both South Korea and the US have a strong will not to repeat the same mistakes of the past ... We will devise a strong strategy after thoroughly analyzing past experiences and lessons," she added.
