North, South Korean Leaders Meet Again
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in met for the second time in a month to discuss peace commitments they reached in their first summit and Kim’s potential meeting with US President Donald Trump.
South Korea’s presidential office said Moon will personally announce the outcome of Saturday’s summit with Kim on Sunday local time, AP reported.
The meeting in a border truce village came hours after South Korea expressed relief over revived talks for a summit between Trump and Kim following a whirlwind 24 hours that saw Trump cancel the highly anticipated meeting before saying it’s potentially back on.
The statement by Seoul's presidential office on Saturday came hours after Trump welcomed North Korea's conciliatory response to his Thursday letter withdrawing from the summit with Kim and said that the meeting might be getting back on track.
Trump later on Saturday tweeted that the summit, if it does happen, will likely take place on June 12 in Singapore as originally planned.
Seoul's Blue House says it's "carefully" watching the developments between Washington and Pyongyang.
