Present at the expanded meeting between the two US-North Korean leaders and advisors included Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea Kim Yong-chol, one of Pyongyang's top diplomats.
It was Kim Yong-chol who met with President Trump in early June to deliver Kim Jong-un's personal letter to Trump, at a time when it seemed the summit had collapsed.
