Time to prepare for another inter-Korean summit: Moon
South Korean President Moon Jae-in wants another summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as soon as the North is ready, regardless of where and how, so as to advance nuclear talks that have stalled between Pyongyang and Washington.
Local reports said the South Korean leader is planning to send a special envoy to Pyongyang in the near future to lay the groundwork for another round of cross-border talks. The two countries"reaffirmed the common goals of achieving complete denuclearisation and establishing permanent peace on the Korean peninsula through a diplomatic solution, and also resolved to work together to resume the dialogue between Washington and Pyongyang in the near future", said Mr Moon.
The Hanoi summit broke down over US demands for something bigger than the North's offer to dismantle its main Yongbyon nuclear facility. Mr Trump said North Korea wanted all sanctions lifted, but the regime insisted that it asked only for a partial removal of sanctions that hurt its people's livelihood. Both sides have not made much contact since then.
