The leaders of South Korea, Japan and China have just completed a joint press briefing in the last few minutes.
Before we connect with our Blue House Correspondent, let's take a listen to what the leaders had to say.


"Our three nations account for a fifth of the world's population, a quarter of gross world product and a fifth of the world's trade.
We have an important role in the growth and development of the world's economy.
We also share a responsibility to secure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.
If we combine our strength and will, I am sure we will be able to open a new era of peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and in East Asia.
Our three nations will become true partners in leading a change in world history."


"Today I have spent a lot of time with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and South Korean President Moon Jae-in. During the meeting we have discussed that through international cooperation, we need to link Northeast Asian issues such as complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula with the North Korea. We have also understood the need to fully implement the UN Security Council resolution concerning North Korea, and we have agreed to solve this issue through trilateral cooperation."

"We welcome North Korea's willingness to solve the nuclear issue and come back to the denuclearization dialogue. We welcome and celebrate the third inter-Korean summit, which was held successfully. I hope and expect the North Korea-U.S. summit will be held successfully. I hope that each party can take this opportunity to resume dialogue to realize denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula and realize peace in the world. And each party should make efforts to this end. China will make efforts as well."
