Korean leader Kim Jong Un plans to invite experts and journalists from the United States and South Korea when the country closes its nuclear
test site in May, Seoul officials said on Sunday, as US President Trump pressed for total denuclearisation ahead of his own unprecedented
meeting with Kim.On Friday, Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in vowed "complete denuclearisation" of the Korean peninsula in the
first inter-Korean summit in more than a decade, but the declaration did not include concrete steps to reach that goal.North Korea's state
media had said before the summit that Pyongyang would immediately suspend nuclear and missile tests, scrap its nuclear test site and instead
pursue economic growth and peace.Kim told Moon that he would soon invite the experts and journalists to "open to the international
community" the dismantling of the facilities, the Blue House said."The United States, though inherently hostile to North Korea, will get to
know once our talk begins that I am not the kind of person who will use nuclear weapons against the South or the United States across the
Pacific," Moon's press secretary Yoon Young-chan quoted Kim as saying."There is no reason for us to possess nuclear weapons while suffering
difficulties if mutual trust with the United States is built through frequent meetings from now on, and an end to the war and non-aggression
are promised."Kim said there were two additional, larger tunnels that remain "in a very good condition" at the Punggye-ri test site beyond
the existing one, which experts have said had collapsed after repeated explosions, rendering much of the site useless.Kim's promise shows
his willingness to "preemptively and actively" respond to inspection efforts to be made as part of the denuclearisation process, Yoon
said.© Thomson Reuters 2018
