North Korea 'willing to give up nuclear weapons' as summit agreed between Kim Jong-un and South Korean president

North Korea has vowed to halt nuclear and missile tests if it holds talks with the US, in a major diplomatic breakthrough that could lead to a peaceful resolution of military tensions on the Korean peninsula.

The pledge was made during an unprecedented meeting between top South Korean security officials and the reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, on Monday evening.

In another significant development, North and South Korea have agreed to hold their first joint summit in over a decade in late April, according to Chung Eui-yong, the leader of the South's two-day delegation to the North.

US President Donald Trump welcomed the move, talking up the chance of progress as he praised the "serious effort" being made by the three nations.
