President Donald Trump<\/u><\/a> and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un should make a “bold decision” to meet during the American president\u2019s upcoming trip to Asia, South Korea\u2019s unification minister declared Friday.<\/p>\n

Chung Dong-young made the remark as Trump is set to leave Friday night for a five-day trip to Malaysia, Japan and South Korea, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

“The leaders of North Korea and the U.S. must not miss this chance,” Chung was quoted by Reuters<\/a> as telling South Korea\u2019s Yonhap news agency. “They need to make a bold decision.”<\/p>\n

“It would help North Korea’s international standing and improve its people’s lives … and for that, peace and stability need to be guaranteed and that’s only possible by meeting President Trump,” Chung reportedly added.<\/p>\n

TRUMP TOUTS KIM JONG UN RELATIONSHIP AMID SOUTH KOREA SUMMIT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n

The last time Trump and Kim met<\/a> was on June 30, 2019, at the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea.<\/p>\n

NORTH KOREA LAUNCHES BALLISTIC MISSILES DAYS BEFORE TRUMP’S VISIT TO THE PENINSULA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, a White House official<\/a> told Fox News Digital that, “President Trump remains open to talking with Kim Jong Un, without any preconditions.”<\/p>\n

“President Trump in his first term held three historic summits with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un that stabilized the Korean Peninsula. U.S. policy on North Korea has not changed,” the official added.<\/p>\n

In late September, Kim said he has “good personal memories” of Trump from their first meetings and there is “no reason not to” resume dialogue with the U.S. if it “abandons its delusional obsession with denuclearization,” according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

North Korea later test-fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles on Wednesday ahead of Trump\u2019s departure to Asia.<\/p>\n
