S. Korea's spy agency notes possible signs of U.S.- N. Korea dialogue

South Korea's spy agency, the National Intelligence Service (NIS), has suggested that a summit between the United States and North Korea could occur at any time. This assessment was made during a closed-door briefing to the National Assembly's intelligence committee.

The NIS cited possible signs of dialogue between Pyongyang and Washington, according to lawmakers Rep. Youn Kun-young of the Democratic Party and Rep. Yoo Yeong-ha of the People Power Party.

The NIS also noted that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's daughter, Ju-ae, appears to be in the process of being designated as his successor, as reported by the lawmakers.
