SEOUL - South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in said on Monday he will pursue “in earnest” another summit with Kim Jong Un despite the North Korean leader’s recent criticism of Seoul’s self-proclaimed role as a mediator in stalled nuclear talks.
Kim said in a speech on Friday that he was willing to hold another summit with Trump if the United States changed its calculation and offered a “proper attitude and a methodology”, setting a year-end deadline. Moon, who visited Washington to meet Trump last week, said Kim’s latest address “set the stage” for a fourth inter-Korean summit, which could be a “stepping stone for an even bigger opportunity and a more significant outcome”.
But Moon did not specifically respond to Kim’s criticism that South Korea was too subservient to the “anachronistic arrogance and hostile policy of the United States”, and that the South’s military persisted in “veiled hostility” by conducting exercises with U.S. forces.
