Let's start with the South Korean delegation,... which spent most of yesterday in Pyongyang...<br />They are now back in Seoul after meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for discussions on the upcoming inter-Korean summit and denuclearization of the peninsula.<br />Let's speak to our presidential office correspondent Shin Se-min who's standing by at Cheong Wa Dae.<br />Se-min, no official announcement on how the trip went yet,... but we do have some details...<br /> <br /> Morning, the five-member, high-level South Korean delegation returned home late Wednesday evening,... after spending close to twelve hours in Pyongyang. <br /> As you mentioned, South Korea's presidential office confirmed the delegation met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Wednesday and President Moon Jae-in's special envoy Chung Eui-yong, who led the delegation, hand-delivered a letter to Kim from the president.<br />We don't know the contents of that letter.<br />Mark,... despite the delegation being back in Seoul,... little is known about their trip so far.<br />We don't yet know what the delegation discussed with Kim or whether they have finalized a date and agenda for this month's scheduled inter-Korean summit.<br /> But-- as we can see from these photos -- there were plenty of smiles on the South and North Korean sides, even from Kim Jong-un himself -- leading many to speculate the visit went well.<br />The hope is the two sides agreed on all the summit-related matters and perhaps even made a breakthrough on denuclearization.<br /><br /> And we know a briefing has been scheduled at the top office this morning-- tell us more.<br /><br /> <br /> The presidential office says President Moon's special envoy Chung Eui-yong will brief the nation in a televised address at 10-40 A.M... on the results of his trip. <br />So... in a little over half-an-hour, we should know the exact date and the details of the summit between the two Korean leaders-- which will be held in Pyongyang in September. <br />And we will be also learn about how much progress was made on pushing forward with the denuclearization drive. <br />Here at the top office,... officials are already scrambling as they prep for the summit. <br /> The preparatory committee for the inter-Korean summit will meet this afternoon,... a clear indication of the limited amount of time they have to put the summit together. <br />So in the later hours, hopefully we'll have a clearer picture of what the next inter-Korean summit will be like. <br /><br /> Thanks for your report, Se-min. <br />We'll bring you live coverage of the envoy's statement just after our newscast wraps up.<br />If you want to watch that -- with simultaneous English translation -- tune in from just before 10:40A.M., Korea time. <br />
