Moon Jae-in

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un thanked the South's outgoing president Moon Jae-in for his efforts to improve inter-Korean relations, Pyongyang and Seoul said Friday, in an unexpected move following signs the isolated state could resume nuclear testing.

New York – Slovenian President Borut Pahor and South Korean President Moon Jae-in exchanged state decorations as they held talks on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly meeting on Monday.

President Moon Jae-in has vehemently lobbied to organize three Trump summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, but that diplomacy is blocked due to disagreements over the easing of US sanctions related to the disarmament of North Korea.

South Korea says that North Korea has exploded an inter-Korean liaison office building just north of the tense Korean border.
Seoul's Unification Ministry says the destruction of the building at the North Korean border town of Kaesong happened at 2:49 p.m. on June 16.

South Korea plans to send 600,000 coronavirus test kits to the United States tomorrow as the first part of a shipment ordered by Washington. This was announced today by a South Korean official, quoted by Reuters.

Prime Minister Boyko Borissov held a telephone conversation with President of the Republic of Korea Moon Jae-in.

First day of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov's visit to South Korea.

In Seoul, Borissov will deliver a wreath at the Seoul National Cemetery, where hundreds of thousands of Koreans are buried, who gave their lives in the Korean and Vietnam War national independence movement.

North Korea has said it will never negotiate with Seoul again. In a statement released by North Korean state news agency KCTA, a spokesman for the Peacekeeping Committee rejected South Korean President Moon Jae-in's promise to continue the dialogue between the two countries, BTA reported.

Yesterday, Moon set a goal for Korea's reunification by 2045.

US President Donald Trump became the first US acting head of state to cross the border between South and North Korea.

This happened as he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in the demilitarized area, which continued with a one-hour tripartite conversation with the leaders of the two Koreas on the southern side of the border.

United States President Donald Trump will visit South Korea to meet with country president Moon Jae-in.

This will happen during Trump's visit to the region at the end of June when he will take part in the G20 summit in the Japanese city of Osaka.
