남북정상회담 이후에 펼쳐질 정상외교전<br /><br /> The preparations for the historic inter-Korean event kept President Moon busier than ever, but his work has only just begun.<br />From the Washington-Pyongyang meeting to the G7 Summit and the second round of inter-Korean talks,... no rest of slowing down.<br />We turn to our Park Hee-jun for a look ahead at the hectic schedule. <br /> Friday's inter-Korean summit was only the beginning of the diplomatic process of securing peace on the Korean Peninsula. President Moon now has a series of summits coming up with various parties involved in affairs related to the Korean Peninsula -- lasting through the end of the year.<br /><br />First off, in the beginning of May,... the leaders of South Korea, China, and Japan will hold a three-way summit in Tokyo. <br />President Moon is expected to share the results of the inter-Korean talks,... and ask for the two nations' support in efforts for peace.<br />That will be followed by a meeting between South Korea and the United States,... mostly to discuss ways to ensure the success of President Trump's summit with Kim Jong-un. <br />It seems now the Trump-Kim summit will happen sooner than expected, in late May, after Trump said last weekend that he'll be meeting with Kim in three to four weeks.<br /><br /> Chinese media have also been reporting that President Xi Jinping will visit Pyongyang after the Trump-Kim talks,... but it's still unclear whether that will really happen.<br />The month of June will see a meeting between the leaders of South Korea and Russia.<br />That will be followed by the G7 meeting on June 8th and 9th in Canada,... where Trump is expected to take the lead in international efforts to disarm North Korea. <br />President Moon is also pushing for multi-lateral talks sometime in June with the two Koreas, the U.S., and possibly China -- to ensure the success of the North Korea-U.S. summit.<br /><br />Then after the annual UN General Assembly meets in September,... there will be a second inter-Korean summit.<br />The two Koreas agreed last week that President Moon would visit Pyongyang sometime this fall. <br /><br /> And sometime before the year comes to a close, three-party talks or four-party talks with China will need to be held... to formally end a war that's lasted seven decades.<br /><br />Park Hee-jun, Arirang News. <br />
