- 5 years ago
President Moon Jae-in has stressed the parties involved in the North Korea denuclearization talks are determined to continue their diplomatic efforts to find a solution despite the lack of progress at the recent Hanoi summit.
Speaking to his top aides on Monday, President Moon said he and U.S. President Donald Trump will discuss ways at their upcoming summit to get Washington and Pyeongyang back to the table at an early date.
He said the focus is on going forward, not backwards.
Take a listen.
"We will never go back to the past, and we cannot go back. I will seek ways with President Trump for the people of Korea and the world who desire peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula. If the path is blocked, we will pierce through it, and if we need to build it, we will build that path.
He added the peace process is a journey to be taken by the two Koreas and the U.S.-- and it would be strange if there weren't ups and down along the way.
President Moon noted the countries have achieved much more in less than a year than anyone has over the past 70 years,... referring back to the first inter-Korean summit in April last year.
President Moon is scheduled to hold summit talks with President Trump in Washington on April 11th.
