SEOUL—North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has pledged to close the country’s nuclear test site at Punggyeri in May in full view of the outside world, Seoul officials said on Sunday, as U.S. President Trump pressed for total denuclearization ahead of his own unprecedented meeting with Kim.

On Friday, Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in vowed in the so-called Panmunjom Declaration to “complete denuclearization” of the Korean peninsula in the first inter-Korean summit in more than a decade.
