The man nominated as South Korea's new spy chief said on Wednesday the right conditions to resolve North Korea's nuclear crisis should be set before a summit between South and North Korea could take place.

 

South Korea's newly elected president Moon Jae-in named Suh Hoon, a veteran of inter-Korean talks, to head the country's National Intelligence Service.

 

Suh told reporters soon after his nomination it was too early to talk about a possible summit between Moon and his North Korean counterpart.
