Moon, Trump to Discuss Future of N. Korea After Denuclearization

The presidential office said Friday that the South Korea-U.S. summit on Tuesday will discuss ways to implement the complete denuclearization of North Korea.

The top office said during the summit talks in Washington, President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Donald Trump will also discuss ways to guarantee a bright future for North Korea when it carries out complete denuclearization.

Nam Gwan-pyo, a deputy director of the presidential National Security Office, briefed reporters on the timetable of Moon's official working visit to the U.S.

Moon is scheduled to arrive in Washington on Monday evening local time at the invitation of Trump. He will hold a one-on-one meeting with Trump at noon Tuesday, which will be followed by an expanded session over a luncheon. Earlier in the day, Moon will also meet with key officials of the Trump administration.

Nam said that Seoul expects the summit to play a bridging role that will lead to the success of the North Korea-U.S. summit set for June 12th. 

After the summit, President Moon will visit the Korean Empire legation building in Washington which marks the 130th anniversary of its opening. There he'll meet the descendants of the empire's first minister to the U.S. and other legation officials who served at the time. 

Moon will return home early Thursday.
