President Moon Jae-in says the dream of denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula is coming true. 

Moon made the remark during talks with foreign dignitaries visiting South Korea for the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Paralympics in Gangwon Province on Friday evening. 

Referring to recent agreements to hold an inter-Korean summit late next month and a Pyongyang-Washington summit in May, Moon said the small symbol of peace created through the joint Korean women’s ice hockey team for the PyeongChang Olympics has been snowballing. 

Moon also praised the success of the PyeongChang Olympics as an Olympics of peace, saying it has become a great present for South Korea. 

He said he believes the South Korean Olympics and Paralympics, as well as the country’s efforts, will help create “new world peace.”
