The South Korean President is keeping a close eye on the summit in Vietnam.
Moon Jae-in said the summit is an important step towards peace in the region.
Shin Se-min reports.
Keeping close tabs on the summit unfolding in Vietnam... is President Moon Jae-in in Seoul.
Ahead of his own summit meeting with the visiting Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi,... President Moon expressed high expectations for the summit between leaders Kim and Trump.

"Today is also the day of the second North Korea-U.S. summit in Vietnam, an important and meaningful day in establishing peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula."

The president's expectations for the summit are as high as they could be.
But no matter how big or small a deal comes out of it, the president's spokesman said any deal is a success and every step is important.
That's a response to claims that the only meaningful progress would be if the two sides were to agree on a "big deal"... or the complete irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
And President Moon... is reportedly monitoring the summit by the minute through the news media and through additional briefings from his security chief Chung Eui-yong.
And once the summit wraps up,... President Moon will also be updated by President Trump himself on his way back home -- later on 28th,... as the preidents agreed last week.
