Kim Jong Un invites South Korean President Moon Jae-in to a summit in the North
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has invited South Korean President Moon Jae-in to meet with him in the North for a summit, Moon's spokesman said Saturday morning.
The invitation was extended by Kim's sister Kim Yo Jong during a lunch meeting with Moon at Blue House, the presidential palace in Seoul. She is in the South attending the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics as her brother's special envoy.
The spokesman said Moon did not immediately agree to a meeting, adding that the two countries should continue to work on creating a political atmosphere that would make such a meeting feasible.
Moon also told Kim's sister that the North should have a dialogue with the U.S.
取り上げる単語は"feasible" /fíːzəbl/ です。『ジーニアス英和辞典』第４版（大修館）で調べてみると、「実行できる、可能な」や「もっともらしい、ありそうな」などの意味があることが分かりました。ここでは、「可能にする」という意味で使われるかと思います。語源はフランス語から来ているとのことです。LDOCEでは、"a plan, idea, or method that is feasible is possible and is likely to work"と定義されています。(Akim)
