One of North Korea's chief negotiators has arrived in Washington to meet US officials ahead of a possible second summit between Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump with speculation mounting that a second summit could be held in Vietnam. Reports suggest that he is also carrying another letter from Kim to Trump. He is expected to meet a plethora of flunkies including the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said.

The North Korean leader is scheduled to travel to the communist-run country for an "official state visit" sometime in February, Reuters news agency is reporting, citing unnamed sources.

Little progress has been made on North Korean de-nuclearisation since a historic meeting in Singapore last June between Kim and Trump, but there has been a recent flurry of diplomatic activity.
