Mr. Moon said in a speech to parliament that a second North Korea-U.S. summit is also “near at hand” and that Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit North Korea soon. Mr. Moon also said he expects Mr. Kim to visit Russia soon and that Mr. Kim may meet with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Mr. Moon has previously said that Mr. Kim told him he would visit Seoul within this year when the leaders met in Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, in September.
South Korea’s presidential office said it had nothing to add to Mr. Moon’s speech about Mr. Kim’s trip. His comments were in line with previous statements, it said. They suggest that Mr. Moon is determined to push ahead with diplomacy to resolve the nuclear issue.
“Now, based on firm trust among one another, South and North Korea and the United States will achieve complete denuclearization and lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula,” Mr. Moon said. “This is an opportunity that has come like a miracle. It’s something that we should never miss.”
