Moon sees upcoming Trump-Kim summit as ‘turning point’ for Korean Peninsula

SEOUL - South Korea's President, Moon Jae-in, believes the second summit between North Korea and the United States, scheduled for February 27-28 in Hanoi, will serve as "a historic turning point" in transforming the Korean Peninsula into "a land of peace and prosperity".

He told a Cabinet meeting that the first Pyeongyang-Washington summit in June last year was an "historic achievement marking a clear milestone in world history". 
"The second summit will be a significant turning point that will see more detailed and tangible progress in complete denuclearisation, a new relationship between North Korea and the U.S., and peace on the Korean Peninsula," he added. 
"(The South Korean government) has always kept its channels open for the two Koreas to communicate, and we will keep fulfilling our role with high hopes."
Moon said this second summit offered a crucial opportunity in the development of inter-Korean relations, saying: "Both Koreas will have to open not only an era of peace without war, but also a new era of a peace economy with peace as the growth engine."  www.korea.kr (ATI).
