THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: President Moon will visit Japan next week

South Korean President Moon Jae-in will visit Tokyo next week for a three-way summit with prime ministers of Japan and China.

Mi Eui-kyeom, Presidential Spokesperson, said President Moon will make a one-day visit to Japan to attend the 7th South Korea-Japan-China trilateral summit on the 9th of May. It will mark the first visit to Japan by a sitting South Korean president since 2011.

The meeting will be the first of its kind since 2015 and comes after the 2018 inter-Korean summit last Friday in which the leaders of two Koreas reaffirmed their commitment on declaring the end of the Korean War by the year's end and dismantling Pyongyang's nuclear program.

Kim added that at the trilateral summit, President Moon will brief the other two leaders on the results of the summit and discuss ways to strengthen the three countries' cooperation on denuclearization and lasting peace settlement on the Korean Peninsula.
