SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea said Tuesday that its leader, Kim Jong-un, has held an "openhearted talk" with visiting envoys from South Korea, reaching a "satisfactory agreement" about holding an inter-Korean summit meeting with the South's president, Moon Jae-in.

Mr. Kim spent more than four hours with the South Korean envoys, including Mr. Moon's national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong. They met in talks and over a dinner held on Monday in the headquarters of the North's ruling Workers' Party in Pyongyang, the North's capital, Mr. Moon's office said on Tuesday.

South Korean officials said the talks with Mr. Kim were "not disappointing."

The 10 members of the delegation led by Mr. Chung are the first South Korean officials to meet Mr. Kim since he took power six years ago. The South Korean envoys have hoped to persuade Mr. Kim to start a dialogue with the United States on ending the North's nuclear weapons program.
