"I will tell you again with confidence that there will not be another war on the Korean Peninsula. The whole nation rebuilt the devastated country after the Korean War and we cannot lose everything again due to another war."
 
He also addressed concerns that his peace policy could be hampered by U.S. President Donald Trump's hawkish stance against the North.

"The international consensus is that the issue must be resolved peacefully although strong sanctions and pressure must be applied to North Korean provocations. U.S. President Donald Trump's position is no different." 
 
Moon stressed that he and Trump have agreed that any military action on the peninsula will take prior coordination with the South Korean government.
 
The president also set a “red line” for North Korea, urging it to suspend its plans to fully develop and load a nuclear warhead on an intercontinental ballistic missile.
 
He said that any more provocations from the North must be stopped at this stage.
 
He added that if the North launches another provocation, it will face even tougher sanctions which it will not be able to bear.
 
Regarding Seoul’s controversial agreement with Tokyo on the wartime sexual slavery of Korean women, Moon said the Foreign Ministry is evaluating the accord and that it will make a decision on followup measures after its assessment. 

On the domestic front, President Moon said his campaign pledge to seek a constitutional revision during next year's provincial elections remains unchanged.
