US and S. Korean leaders to discuss resumption of dialogue with North Korea

The Republic of Korea and the United States will continue to work closely together on the DPRK's nuclear missile issue, Report informs, citing TASS.

"I will consider the remaining one year of my term to be the last opportunity to move from an incomplete peace toward one that is irreversible," Moon said in a televised address to mark the fourth inauguration anniversary of his five-year tenure. He took office in May 2017.

Noting the need to revive the stalled inter-Korean peace process, Moon Jae-in reaffirmed his commitment to working closely with US President Joe Biden. He expressed hope that his first face-to-face meeting with the head of the White House at the end of May will bring "important results."

"We (he and Biden) will restore dialogue between the two Koreas and between the United States and North Korea (the DPRK) and find a way to step once again toward peaceful cooperation by more closely coordinating policies toward North Korea," Moon said.

Moon is scheduled to visit Washington for summit talks with US President Joe Biden on May 21 to restore the deadlocked dialogue between the two Koreas and between the DPRK and the United States.
