Statement by President Moon Jae-in on a Promised U.S.-North Korea Summit

Mar 09,2018
I have been informed that President Donald J. Trump will meet Chairman Kim Jong-un of the State Affairs Commission of North Korea by May.

The two leaders’ meeting following the inter-Korean summit will put the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula finally on track and will be remembered as a historic milestone which will contribute to achieving peace on the peninsula in the future.

I would like to express my profound gratitude to the two leaders who made a difficult decision reflecting their courage and wisdom. Especially, the leadership of President Trump, who willingly accepted Chairman Kim’s invitation for a summit, will be praised not only by the people of the Republic of Korea and North Korea but all people who hope for peace all around the world.
