A summit between the United States and North Korea appears possible "at any time" as signs have emerged of dialogue between the two sides, a lawmaker citing South Korea's spy agency said on Tuesday.
US President Donald Trump said last month he plans to again meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, but the public response from Pyongyang has been mostly muted and analysts were sceptical of imminent talks.
"Regarding the North Korea-US summit, there was an analysis that it should be viewed as possible at any time," South Korean lawmaker Youn Kun-young told reporters, citing a briefing by the National Intelligence Service.
"It was stated that while no facts regarding concrete contact between the two sides have been presented, there are signs of dialogue," he added.
Trump, eyeing a revived bond he claims to have with Kim, also said in August it was important to "get along" with the North Korean leader, adding that Pyongyang now had 57 "very powerful" nuclear weapons.
