Incoming South Korea spy chief says too early to talk about summit with North Korea

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.
