Kim Jong - un, North Korea`s secretary of state, closes the North`s nuclear test site in May and releases it to Korean and American experts and the press. US President Donald Trump stated he would make a two to three week advance for the US-North Korean summit. The United States and North Korea, which are parties to the denuclearization negotiations, have been actively promoting such talks, and discussions on denuclearization have been on the verge of a "tumultuous May".

Yoon Young-chan, the chief of the National Security Council, told a briefing on April 29 that North Korea would close its nuclear test site.

On the same day, according to Yun, the chairman of Kim stated, "We will shut down the North Korea nuclear test site in May and invite experts from South Korea and USA and journalists to North Korea soon" at the inter - Korean summit with Moon Jae - At the summit, Kim agreed on the declaration of "complete denuclearization" in the Panmunjom Declaration, and then he officially declared the closure and disclosure of the nuclear test site. The two Koreas are in the process of coordinating the dispatch of US-ROK nuclear experts and the shutdown of the nuclear test facility is expected to be held before the North Korea talks.

President Moon and Kim agreed to unify the inter-Korean standard time, which is now 30 minutes apart, as "Seoul Standard Time". Mr. Moon told President Trump about this on the phone. Kim said to Moon, "We will close down some of the things we have failed to do. We will see that there are two more tunnels larger than the existing experimental facility, which is very good." Earlier, North Korea declared that it closed the North`s nuclear test site at a meeting of the Central Committee of the Labor Party on April 20. The North`s nuclear test site is the Punggye nuclear test site, where North Korea conducted six nuclear tests.

Kim also said, "Although the US has a sense of dislike of the North, we will find out that if we talk with us, I will not be the person to shoot nuclear weapons in the South or the Pacific Ocean or to aim at the United States. If we build up and promise aggression and non-aggression, why should we live hard with nuclear weapons? "

North Korea also disclosed the "Panmunjom Declaration", which Kim agreed at the inter-Korean summit, through the Chosun Central Communications without deleting or revising it.

Meanwhile, it is said that Kim`s announcement of the Panmunjom Declaration and the declaration of the closure of the nuclear test facility and the public disclosure policy are intended to block the US`s suspicions about the authenticity of denuclearization. Yun said, "Kim`s decision to shut down the nuclear test facility has revealed his willingness to take a preemptive and aggressive approach to North Korea`s nuclear test. "It is meant to be more active in harmony with the harmonization with the international community, and it is a decision to remove obstacles to inter-Korean and inter-Korean cooperation that are expected in the future."

"I think the meeting with North Korea will take place within three to four weeks," Trump said at a rally in Washington, DC, on April 28 (local time).

President Moon and President Trump also talked immediately after the summit talks and entered discussions on the solution of denuclearization.

Trump hoped to hold a summit meeting soon in the currency. The two leaders shared their views on the summit of the US-North Korea summit by narrowing it down to two or three places. If the timing of the US-DPRK talks is delayed by two or three weeks, the summit will be coordinated. A senior official of the presidential office said, "The US-China summit will be held before the North American summit." Relative talks between Northeast Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Russia are likely to be rescheduled as soon as the discussions on the denuclearization of the South, the North and the US are hurried.
