President Moon Jae-in's national security adviser,... who now doubles as a special envoy to North Korea, stood before the cameras -- less than a day before he embarks on a trip to Pyongyang for talks. Telling reporters that he will be carrying a letter from President Moon,... special envoy Chung Eui-yong said his team of delegates plans to hold discussions about ways to completely denuclearize the Korean Peninsula and establish lasting peace.And he, too, emphasized the importance of the timing. "Just as the President said, this is an extremely important time in terms of establishing peace on the Korean Peninsula. Peace in the region and complete denuclearization go together." With that, he outlined three main goals for his latest trip to Pyongyang. One -- settling on a specific date and agenda for the inter-Korean summit, which both sides have already agreed to hold this month. Two -- talking about ways to further develop relations between the two by implementing the Panmunjom Declaration, the agreement struck by the leaders of both sides during their first sit-down in April. And three -- negotiating ways to achieve complete denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula. But even with those concrete missions,... the special envoy did say that at this point there's no meeting scheduled with the regime's leader Kim Jong-un.And he stressed the importance of resuming the talks between Pyongyang and Washington. Earlier in the day, Chung reviewed the details of the trip with the President and the government ministers related to security. South Korea's foreign ministry said that Seoul and Washington are in close communication about the envoys' visit.Shin Se-min, Arirang News.
