President Moon Jae-in said in regard to two upcoming potentially historic meetings with North Korea — first, between South and North Korea in April, and second between the U.S. and North Korea — that, “Should we succeed, there would be dramatic changes in world history and South Korea would play a leading part in such changes.”
In a meeting with his top aides at Cheong Wa Dae on March 12, President Moon said that the fate of South Korea and the Korean Peninsula would depend on the success of the two talks.
“This is too important an opportunity to miss, not just for a government but for our nation. We could seize this opportunity because the whole world desires peace, not war and longs for a diplomatic solution, not a military solution,” the president stressed.
President Moon continued to ask that although it’s anybody’s guess what the upcoming summits would produce, the government and the people should join all their strength as one so that the talks would be successful.
