My fellow Koreans,
I have held a second inter-Korean summit with Chairman Kim Jong-un yesterday afternoon at Tongil-gak, the northern side of Panmunjom.
It has been just a month since our first summit on April 27 at the Peace House of Panmunjom.
At that summit, we two leaders had promised to informally meet anywhere, anytime to discuss core issues concerning our people when necessary.
Chairman Kim, last had delivered his wish to meet casually the evening before and I gladly accepted his invitation. I have for a long time underscored the communication method of regular meeting between the summits to resolve the inter-Korean conflict and discord, and my will has been well displayed at the April 27 Panmunjom Declaration.
My fellow Koreans,
We two leaders had a candid conversation ahead of the North Korea-U.S. summit. Explaining the outcome of last weeks' summit with U.S. President Trump, I delivered the message that should Chairman Kim determine and carry out complete denuclearization, the U.S. has a clear will to end hostile relations with North Korea and for economic cooperation.
I also highlighted the need for sufficient preliminary talks at working-level talks between the two nations regarding the agenda that need to be agreed at the summit, especially since both Chairman Kim and President Trump genuinely want a successful North Korea-U.S. summit to take place.
Chairman Kim concurred with me on that.
Chairman Kim Jong-un once again made clear his willingness for complete denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula, following the Panmunjom Declaration, and set forth his willingness to end the history of war and conflict as well as to cooperate for peace and prosperity through successful North Korea-U.S. summit.
We two leaders confirmed that the North Korea-U.S. summit should be held successfully and our journey to denuclearization and permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula cannot be stopped, and vowed to closely and mutually cooperate on that matter.
We also reaffirmed a prompt fulfilment of the April 27 Panmunjom Declaration.
And for this, we agreed to hold an inter-Korean working-level talks on June 1 and to hold military official meeting to alleviate military tension and a consecutive Red Cross meeting for reunion of the separated families.
Both leaders agreed that the promptness and informality are the significance of this summit, and decided to hold phone talks or meet casually whenever needed in the future.
My fellow Koreans,
Looking back, we were always nervous. Fear over our national security penetrated not only our economy and diplomacy but also the daily lives of our people.
It was also the biggest reason that made our politics fall behind.
