North and South Korean Leaders to Meet In Pyongyang

朝韓領導人就在平壤舉行會晤

North and South Korean officials say their leaders will meet in North Korea's capital, Pyongyang, in September.

朝韓官員表示，雙方領導人將于9月在朝鮮首都平壤舉行會晤。

The announcement followed high-level talks between representatives of both sides on Monday. Officials met in Panmunjom, the neutral village in the border area that separates the two Koreas.

雙方代表周一舉行了高層會談，隨后宣布了這一消息。有關官員在板門店舉行了會晤，這是邊境地區(qū)分隔朝韓兩國的一個中立村莊。

In their statement, the officials did not include a date for the meeting between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

有關官員在聲明中并沒有提到朝鮮領導人金正恩和韓國總統(tǒng)文在寅會晤的具體日期。

Kim and Moon met in April for the first time in Panmunjom. In May, they met there again. Moon will become the first South Korean leader to visit Pyongyang if the September meeting takes place.

今年四月，金正恩與文在寅在板門店首次會晤。五月，他們在那里又一次會晤。如果九月的會晤如期舉行，文在寅將成為首位訪問平壤的韓國領導人。

The meeting would continue a series of diplomatic moves between the two Koreas.

這次會晤將會延續(xù)兩國之間一系列的外交行動。

Tensions between the sides eased when Kim accepted Moon's offer for North Koreans to take part in the Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang in February. That helped lead to historic talks between Kim and American President Donald Trump in June. The two leaders met and signed an agreement in Singapore.

當金正恩接受文在寅提出的朝鮮參加今年二月舉行的平昌冬奧會的建議時，雙方之間的緊張局勢有所緩解。這有助于促成金正恩與美國總統(tǒng)川普6月份舉行的歷史性會談。兩位領導人在新加坡會晤并簽署了協(xié)議。

The agreement included a promise from North Korea to "work toward" denuclearization of the Korea Peninsula.

該協(xié)議包括了朝鮮提出的“致力于朝鮮半島無核化”的承諾。
