South Korea says North Korea is willing to talk about getting rid of its nuclear weapons but only if its own safety can be guaranteed.

The South says the subject was raised when its officials met with the North's leader, Kim Jong‑un, in Pyongyang during a rare visit.

They say Kim is also open to US talks, and would pause weapons testing.

Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae‑in will meet on the heavily fortified border next month, at the truce village of Panmunjom.
