Before leaving for Pyongyang, Moon said he planned to have a lot of frank talks with Kim in order to bring "irreversible, permanent peace to the Korean Peninsula" and help restart the DPRK-U.S. dialogue.
Kim met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Singapore in June and said that they would try to work towards the denuclearization of the peninsula, but recently the talks have been in a stalemate. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cancelled a planned trip to the DPRK, citing lack of progress.
The official Rodong Sinmun on Tuesday said in a commentary that the United States is totally to blame for the deadlock by "stubbornly insisting on the theory of 'dismantlement of nukes first' which was rejected in the past DPRK-U.S. dialogues."
Instead, the United States should have an honest and diligent attitude toward the dialogue, it said.
Observers said that it would be a gesture of goodwill if the two sides could reach a consensus on military issues, even though it may still be challenging for the two sides to achieve breakthroughs without a substantial change in the approach of the United States.
Separately, a Chinese envoy to the United Nations said Monday that positive changes have occurred on the Korean Peninsula, which is good for a political settlement of related issues. "The situation is now on the correct track of dialogue towards political settlement," said Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Ma Zhaoxu at a Security Council meeting.
