New Pictures South Korean envoy is to join secret meeting with North Korea and U.S.

A South Korean envoy will join talks between the North and the United States in Sweden, as Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un prepare for a second summit. 

The three countries' diplomats are gathering at an unannounced location in Stockholm amid growing efforts to end the Korean nuclear stand-off. 

South Korea's Lee Do-Hoon will join Stephen Biegun, who is Washington's envoy in Pyongyang, and North Korean minister Choe Son Hui for the talks, The Local reported.  

A diplomatic source said the purpose of the meeting was to take steps forward in the relations between U.S. and North Korea after discussions 'ground to a halt'.

Police have blocked off a snow-covered area near a conference centre, amid reports a former deputy chief of the UN was at the facility. 

The meeting, which is due to last over the weekend, has been planned in secret for months.

Sweden's foreign minister and the country's envoy to Korea are also said to be sitting in on the talks. 

The White House said on Friday that President Trump would hold a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in late February. 

Trump and Kim met in Singapore in June last year in the first ever meeting between the two countries' heads of government.  

Kim made vague commitments to work toward the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula but has yet to take what Washington sees as concrete steps. 

Critics of U.S. efforts say the first summit boosted Kim's international stature with little progress on the nuclear stand-off to show for it.  

Earlier this month, Trump defended the stuttering progress on North Korea by saying that Pyongyang had stopped its missile and bomb testing.    

Trump has not said where the second summit will be held, but Vietnam has been considered a leading candidate.
