Vietnamese deputy prime minister and foreign minister Pham Binh Minh will travel to North Korea for a three-day visit between February 12-14, Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) announced on Monday.

The visit is taking place at the invitation of DPRK foreign minister Ri Yong Ho, a tweet by MoFA spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang said, and comes just days after U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that an upcoming U.S.-North Korea summit will take place in Hanoi.
