South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Thursday said that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will "soon" visit Seoul.

Moon, however, didn’t provide any other details about the proposed trip of Kim Jong Un.

President Moon Jae-in made the statement  during a speech on the economy given before the South Korean parliament. 

Moon has previously said that Kim told him he would visit Seoul within this year when the leaders met in Pyongyang in September.

It wasn't immediately clear whether Moon was repeating his previous statement or if he had new details about Kim's trip.

Moon also says a second North Korea-US summit is "near at hand." 

He says Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit North Korea and that Kim is to travel to Russia soon.

Moon has shuttled between North Korea and the United States to arrange nuclear talks.
