Special envoys continue trip to China, Japan, and Russia to brief resuts of their Pyongyang visit
- 6 years ago
First they visited North Korea, then the U.S.,... and now the special envoys of South Korea are leaving for China, Japan, and Russia to brief the leaders of Seoul's neighboring countries of the outcome of their visit to Pyongyang.
We now connect to our Blue House correspondent Hwang Hojun who's on the phone.
Hojun, it has been and will continue to be a hectic week for the special envoys
That's right, Mark. It's been less than 24 hours since the special envoys came back from their trip to Washington to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.
And now the special envoys are taking separate trips.
President Moon's top security adviser Chung Eui-yong heads to Beijing to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping later, and will then fly to Moscow,... although his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is yet to be confirmed.
The head of the nation's intelligence agency, Suh Hoon, is set to fly out to Tokyo this afternoon and meet with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Tuesday...
The special envoys will be delivering the outcome of their monumental Pyongyang visit to the leaders of each country, as they did to U.S. President Trump,... including the fact that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un promised to return to the negotiation table, willing to discuss denuclearization in exchange for security guarantees, and that Pyongyang would stop nuclear and missile testing while recognizing that the South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises will continue.
Chung and Suh will also further explain the results of their Washington visit,... where President Trump agreed to meet with Kim Jong-un by May, if North Korea takes concrete steps that would reflect such promises.
Back to you, Mark.
