US-North Korea talks have been stalled since a failed summit in February between Trump and the North Korean leader in Hanoi, Vietnam.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un received a personal letter from US President Donald Trump and will put serious thought into its content, North Korea's state-run news agency KCNA said.
In a report published early on June 23 in Asia, KCNA did not give details on the letter, but said Kim described it as "of excellent content."
"Kim Jong Un said that he would seriously contemplate the interesting content," the report said.
White House officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
