Kim Jong-un has sent a letter to President Moon Jae-in on yesterday (July 30). Cheong Wa Dae's explanation is that his own Seoul trip and his intention to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula were included. From the standpoint of Chairman Kim, he sent a letter of intent at the time of the announcement of New Year's Day on January 1, which is an important event for public appearance.

Kim Jong Eun sent two copies of A4 paper to President Moon Jae-in yesterday afternoon.

The presidential office said that it is customary not to disclose top officials, but summarized the main content of Kim's intention.

[Kim Sung-Kwang / Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson: We will meet with President Moon Jae-in frequently in 2019 to show that there is a willingness to progress discussions for peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and solve the problem of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.]

Kim also said, "As we agreed in Pyongyang, I looked forward to seeing this year's visit to Seoul, but I'm sorry I can not do it."

Moon Jae-in sent a public letter to the SNS shortly after he received a letter of intent, and expressed his gratitude for Kim's intention and sent a public reply that our heart welcomed Mr. Kim never changed.

In particular, I am interested in the background of the fact that the announcement of the New Year's Day of the North side tomorrow will be held in front of you and the correspondent has been delivered unusually.

First of all, it is the analysis that the inter-Korean relations are not related to the US-North Korea relations, but that it is a message to us in advance that we will continue to develop it next year.

There is also an interpretation that he tried to relieve the political burden of Cheong Wa Dae on the fact that the visit was overtaken by confirming the will of Seoul next year.
