문 대통령 "4월, 5월 정상회담 한반도 비핵화, 평화 현실이 되고 있다" 트럼프, 김정은 5월까지 정상회담
Another welcome development in the ongoing efforts to bring about peace on the Korean peninsula.
The leaders of Pyongyang and Washington will be holding a historic summit in May.
Moon Connyoung has more on the announcement made by Seoul's national security chief upon President Trump's request. One historic breakthrough after another.
North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, has invited President Trump to meet for negotiations over its nuclear program and U.S. President Donald Trump has... not only accepted, but said "let's do it by May."
The stunning announcement was made by South Korean President Moon Jae-in's National Security Adviser Chung Eui-yong in Washington to discuss the outcome of a rare visit to Pyongyang by Seoul's presidential envoys earlier this week.
"... he expressed his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible. President Trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet Kim Jong Un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization."
The U.S. president's acceptance came after the South Korean official relayed Kim's pledge to refrain from further nuclear tests and move toward denuclearization.
"I told President Trump that in our meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he is committed to denuclearization. Kim pledged that North Korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests. He understands that the routine joint military exercises between the Republic of Korea and the United States must continue."
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed the news... saying Mr Trump would accept the invitation to meet Mr Kim at a place and time to be determined.
That was almost immediately followed by a tweet by President Donald Trump.
He said North Korea's Kim Jong-un had talked about denuclearization with the South Korean representatives, not just a freeze, that a meeting is being planned, but sanctions would remain in place for the time being.
The meeting, if it does take place, would make Trump the first sitting U.S. president to meet with his North Korean counterpart, a stunning diplomatic breakthrough with uncertain consequences.
Speaking at the pre-opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Paralympics Friday evening... South Korean President Moon Jae-in spoke of hope... cautiously expressing optimism.
"South and North Korea have agreed to hold an inter-Korean summit in late April and U.S. President Trump has vowed to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un by May.
Denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula are becoming a reality."
"Experts in South Korea and the U.S. say the never-before-seen speed and level of developments in Seoul, Pyongyang, Washington ties can largely be credited to the type of leaderships in place in all three. Regarding today's decision, a senior U.S. official said it made sense to accept an invite to meet with one person who can actually make decisions... instead of continuing with the "long slog of the past" - a sentiment that's also shared by South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
Moon Connyoung, Arirang News, the Blue House."
