I am willing to talk candidly with Chairman Kim Jong Un to find a balance between the US' demands for denuclearization and North Korea's request for dropping hostile policies and enforcing measures to secure their safety, i believe that the denuclearization issue can be progressed at a rapid pace if the two leaders face each other again and talk.

Our goal is to become the number one country for future car competitiveness by 2030.

In spite of a series of worrying actions taken by North Korea recently, the momentum for dialogue remains unshaken.

We can't rule out the possibility that the situation would be prolonged, despite our diplomatic efforts to resolve the issue, it is a very regrettable situation, but we have no choice but to prepare for all possibilities.

It is not desirable at all...that Japan takes measures that deal a blow to our economy because of political purpose and makes remarks that link the measures to sanctions on North Korea.

We will seek international cooperation as the measures will naturally have an adverse impact on the global economy.

If the period of no dialogue is prolonged, the passion for dialogue could subside.

What's most important is speed. by Moon Jae-in

What's most important is speed.

The second summit would be a venue where they settle on terms of what specific measures North Korea will take and how those moves will be reciprocated by the United States, but U.S. forces in South Korea or strategic assets in places like Guam and Japan are not linked with North Korea alone, as they exist for the stability and peace of the entire Northeast Asia.

I expect we'll hear about high-level talks between North Korea and the United States before long for their second summit.

The most important thing is that it will be a fundamental solution to protecting the lives and safety of the people by reducing the number of deaths from overwork, industrial accidents and sleep-deprived driving.

If Chairman Kim (Jong Un) keeps the promise of denuclearization, he will be able to lead his country into prosperity, this path is never easy, but if the agreements at the summit are implemented with sincerity, the goal can be achieved.

If the leaders do not honor the promise they themselves made with the international community watching, they will be subject to grave judgment.

There are various opinions about the meeting, but the most important thing is that the talks have made it possible for people around the world, including the people of the US, SK and Japan, to escape the threats of war, nuclear threats and the threats of long range missiles.

It has a chance to be a great, great meeting for North Korea and a great meeting for the world.

We'd like to build on these efforts as well as the actions of the United Nations to pursue complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization, we three nations need to stay in close touch with international society and demand that North Korea take concrete moves. This is essential.

I think President Trump deserves big credit for bringing about the inter-Korean talks, it could be a resulting work of the U.S.-led sanctions and pressure.

For peace of the Korean Peninsula, (I will) constantly be working, if it is necessary, I will fly immediately to Washington and also visit Beijing and Tokyo. If the condition is created, I will also go to Pyongyang.

The problem of resolving of issues in Korean Peninsula should be led by South Korea and helped by our neighboring countries such as the United States, which is our leading ally.

One rule I always follow, never predict what happens in South Korean politics. PRISONER OF NORTH KOREA: AN AMERICAN SAFE AT HOME SHARES HIS ORDEAL The polls have been volatile during the 30 days of the election campaign process, but Moon has held a steady lead throughout, said Scott Snyder, a senior fellow for Korea studies and director of the program on U.S.-Korea policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. There will be new tensions in the U.S.- ROK alliance relationship that have not been there under conservative governments over the course of the past 8 or 9 years.

I am confident to lead the diplomatic efforts involving multiple parties, which will lead to the complete abandonment of the North Korean nuclear program, and bring the relationship between South and North to peace, economic cooperation and mutual prosperity.
