SEOUL, Sept. 1 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's spy agency said Tuesday a summit between the United States and North Korea may be held at any time, citing possible signs of dialogue between Pyongyang and Washington.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) made the assessment during a closed-door briefing to the National Assembly's intelligence committee, according to Rep. Youn Kun-young of the ruling Democratic Party and Rep. Yoo Yeong-ha of the main opposition People Power Party.

The NIS also said North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's daughter Ju-ae appears to be in the stage of being designated as his successor, according to the lawmakers.
