President Moon Jae-in returned Sunday from the United States where he had a summit with U.S. President Donald Trump on North Korea, alliance and trade issues.


Upon arrival, he issued a statement to the nation stressing the summit has set the stage for South Korea to play a bigger role in resolving North Korea's nuclear issue diplomatically.

 

"Through this summit, the two countries agreed to achieve their common goal of the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful manner," Moon said.

 

"Also we have secured the United States' support for us to lead the resolution of the Korean Peninsula problem through dialogue."

 

In a joint statement after the summit on Friday (U.S. time), Trump expressed support for Moon's aspiration to resume talks with the North and Seoul's leading role in fostering an environment for peaceful unification.
