So we've heard from President Moon President Trump and Kim Jong-un.<br />But on the outside of the process, observing, what are the experts making of the latest summit and what it may have accomplished?<br />Our Kim Hyesung has this report. <br />Another surprising, historic meeting between the two Koreas.<br />It was held for two hours on the North's side of Panmunjom as part of efforts to continue inter-Korean dialogue and to salvage the North Korea-U.S. summit for June, which was abruptly canceled on Thursday by U.S. President Donald Trump. <br />Saturday's summit meeting was only the fourth time the leaders have met face-to-face since the Korean War, but it was the second time they met in just one month.<br /><br />"Another significance of this development is that South Korea's role has been reconfirmed and revalidated with President Moon Jae-in in the middle talking to both sides very closely. I think it's very significant."<br /><br />President Moon Jae-in said during the meeting that he relayed President Trump's desire to end hostile relations if North Korea implements complete denuclearization.<br />He also said that North Korea is committed to holding a summit with the U.S. and to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.<br />Directly exchanging opinions, leaders from the two Koreas showed how they were able to get together quickly to tackle a crisis in a way that until recently would have been almost unthinkable. <br />Yet, experts say one key thing remains unclear -- the definition of denuclearization.<br /><br /><br />"President Moon was asked about whether North Korea will commit to CVID -- that is, complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearzation. But he did not give a clear answer. This remains a critical sticking point between the North and the U.S., that needs to be ironed out to reach any kind of agreement."<br /><br />As President Moon Jae-in delivered his first public comments about the surprise meeting, President Trump said the date and place for the summit talks with North Korea haven't changed. <br />If the summit happens, and if it's to be a success, the devil will be in the details.<br />Now all eyes are on the upcoming inter-Korean high level talks on June 1st and the preparatory meetings between Washington and Pyongyang to iron out the agenda to help achieve a successful North Korea-U.S. summit.<br />Kim Hyesung, Arirang News. <br />
