Ask what Korea is talking about.

A senior South Korean presidential official said Thursday that North Korea is unlikely to attend the APEC summit in China next week or hold talks with the United States, Yonhap and Korea Times report. The official said it would be difficult to say there is zero possibility, but noted there are many unpredictable factors. President Lee Jae Myung will attend the ASEAN and APEC summits in the Philippines and China next week, his national security adviser confirmed. Korean media coverage focuses on the official's cautious wording, with KBS World noting the presidential office sees US-North Korea leader talks as unlikely on the sidelines of the regional summits.
