By GlobalDataThe announcement comes the day after US secretary of state Mike Pompeo returned to the US from a surprise visit to Pyongyang, bringing home three US released prisoners who had been jailed in North Korea.
The date and location of the landmark talks had previously been kept under wraps.
When the talks kick-off in June, it will be the second time so far this year Kim has met with a former foe.
At a summit in April, Kim shook hands with South Korean President Moon Jae-in for the first time, marking a major diplomatic step for the two warring nations.
The leaders agreed to seek “complete” denuclearisation of the peninsula and formally end the 1950-53 Korean War.
Future summits between the Koreas, China and the US will also be held as part of the agreement signed by the Korean leaders in April.
