The UN Security Council has eased sanctions on senior North Korean officials,... enabling them to travel to Vietnam for the second Pyeongyang-Washington summit.
Reuters says the sanctions have been temporarily lifted for the entire North Korean delegation as it's not yet clear exactly who will be traveling to Hanoi for the preparation work and the summit.
Such a move comes as Vietnam requested for a blanket exemption.
The UN's sanctions committee also eased sanctions for the North's officials last year in June when Pyeongyang and Washington held their first landmark summit.
