Outcome of Second Inter-Korean Summit

President Moon Jae-in said that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un remains committed to holding a summit with U.S. President Donald Trump and to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

President Moon held a press briefing at Cheong Wa Dae to personally announce the outcome of the second inter-Korean summit that took place one day earlier at the Tongilgak on the northern side of Panmunjeom.

“Chairman Kim made clear once again his intentions to completely denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, as he did in the Panmunjeom Declaration. He expressed his willingness to work together to promote peace and prosperity as well as to put an end to the history of war and confrontation through the success of a North Korea-United States summit,” President Moon said.

“Sharing the common understanding that the June 12 North Korea-U.S. summit should be held in a successful manner and that our journey toward denuclearization and the establishment of a permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula must not stop under any circumstances, we two leaders agreed to closely work together toward these ends,” he said.

President Moon also said, “I delivered to Kim the message of President Trump that he has a firm resolve to put an end to hostility toward North Korea and to work on economic cooperation with the North if Chairman Kim decides decisively to put complete denuclearization into action.

In particular, since both Chairman Kim and President Trump are sincerely hoping for the success of their summit, I emphasized that it is necessary for the two sides to engage in direct talks to eliminate misunderstandings and have sufficient preliminary, working-level negotiations concerning the agenda that needs to be agreed upon at the summit."

"I believe that a summit, as well as working-level talks, between the two countries will work out well, as both sides clearly recognize what they want from each side," he added.

The leaders of the two Koreas also reconfirmed the need to accelerate the implementation of the Panmunjeom Declaration.

To this end, both sides agreed to convene the inter-Korean high-level talks on June 1 to be followed by talks between military authorities to ease tensions and Red Cross talks for the reunion of separated families.

President Moon said, “Yesterday’s summit was held like a routine meeting between friends. We agreed to communicate and to sit together to have candid discussions whenever necessary.”

Meanwhile, North Korea announced the results of the second summit immediately through major news outlets, including the Korean Central News Agency. The news agency stressed the details about which the two leaders talked and that Chairman Kim vowed to engage actively in efforts to improve inter-Korean ties and to establish permanent and solid peace on the

peninsula. "The two leaders made satisfactory agreements on issues they discussed at the summit," the North Korean news said.

President Trump also mentioned the possibility of reinstating the canceled June 12 summit with North Korea. He posted on his Twitter feed on May 26, the day of the second summit, that, "We are having very productive talks with North Korea about reinstating the summit, which, if it does happen, will likely remain in Singapore on the same date, June 12, and, if necessary, will be extended beyond that date."

President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Donald Trump Holds One- on-One Meeting

Leaders of Korea and the U.S. have vowed to work together to make a U.S.-North Korea Summit possible as scheduled for June.

On May 22, President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Donald Trump held a one-on- one meeting and then an expanded summit at the White House to reaffirm Seoul- Washington cooperation on dealing with issues concerning North Korea.

At the meeting, President Moon Jae-in stressed that there's no need for doubt over the North's willingness to attend the Washington-Pyeongyang summit, and that there's need for concrete negotiations between the two countries to achieve denuclearization and the stability of the regime.

“President Trump will be able to bring an end to the Korean War that has lasted over the past 65 years, and achieve complete denuclearization by making any summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un successful,” said President Moon. “I’m also sure that diplomatic relations between the U.S. and the North will be resumed and will be back to normal, as well as the establishment of permanent peace on the peninsula.”

“It’s thanks to President Trump’s strong vision and leadership that the Washington- Pyeongyang summit has been made possible, a first in history. We’re now closer toward the dream of complete denuclearization and world peace,” he added.

Regarding voices of concern over whether the June summit will be held or not after Pyeongyang’s recent change of attitude, President Moon believed that the summit would be taking place as planned. “My role is not to serve as a mediator between the U.S. and the North, but to help the summit to be successful and to cooperate closely with the U.S., as the outcome of the talks will have a significant impact on the fate of the peninsula and South Korea,” he stressed.

“Obviously North Korea is the big one among the many things we're working on,” said President Trump. “We’ll see whether or not the Singapore summit happens, but if it does, that’ll be great. It’ll be a great thing for North Korea.”
