President Moon Jae-in returned to Seoul yesterday from New York, where he met his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump and attended the UN General Assembly.<br />For more on his trip we have our Shin Se-min in the studio for us. <br />Se-min, lets do a bit of a recap can we safely say Moon and Trump's meeting gave a boost to Washington's next round of working-level talks with Pyeongyang?<br /> It sure did. <br />The presidential office sees the trip this time to New York as relatively a successful one. <br /> One of the major reasons is that President Moon reaffirmed South Korea's ties with the U.S. and cementing their strategy in leading the Korean peace process in the right direction.<br />In the ninth Moon-Trump summit meeting, President Moon pushed hard to get that third Kim-Trump summit to happen soon.<br />"If a third North Korea-U.S. summit takes place, it will be a achievement that equals a great transformation in terms of the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."<br />And he also invited the international community to be part of that Korean peace process by turning the Demilitarized Zone into an "international peace zone."<br /> The presidential office says that specific part has an implied message to the North that the rest of the world will support a security guarantee for the regime.<br />So that alone, is a way of bringing North Korea back to the negotiating table and perhaps even leading the regime to taking more concrete steps toward denuclearization. <br />
