A recently-issued book by a prominent North Korean publisher aimed at hailing Kim Jong Un’s summit diplomacy between 2018 and 2019 has notably excluded mention of the DPRK leader’s February meeting with U.S. President Donald in Hanoi.

North Korea’s chief negotiator Kim Myong Gil on Monday warned that a “terrible” event may take place should the U.S. fail to offer Pyongyang a better deal, claiming that the ball is now in Washington’s court to restart dialogue.

Working-level talks between North Korea and the United States are likely to take place in Sweden this week, multiple sources indicated to NK News on Wednesday. The location, which has not yet been publicly confirmed, is where the two countries held meetings in January this year.
