国际英语资讯:S.Koreas Moon offers DPRK broader inter-Korean cooperation

Stressing the importance of sports exchange between the two Koreas, Moon brought forward his expectations for DPRK athletes to participate in South Korea-hosted sports events this year such as the first East Asian Weightlifting Championships, set to be held in Seoul from Feb. 26 to March 20, and the world table tennis championships slated to open in the southern port city of Busan on March 22.

Moon offered the DPRK the continued consultations on fielding a unified Korean team for this year's Tokyo Summer Olympics, set to open in late July, and marching together during an opening ceremony.

He reminded the DPRK of the agreement to co-host the 2032 Summer Olympics, which was reached between Moon and Kim during their summit. The two Koreas already delivered their intent to jointly play host to the Olympics to the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

To build a peace economy on the peninsula, Moon suggested to the DPRK making concerted efforts to resume the currently suspended inter-Korean economic cooperation projects, or the Kaesong Industrial Complex and the tours to the DPRK's scenic resort of Mount Kumgang.

"I have a willingness to repeatedly meet and continuously talk (with the DPRK leader)," said Moon.

Moon expressed his hope that South Korea and the DPRK make joint efforts to create conditions for Kim's reciprocal visit to South Korea as early as possible.

The leaders of the two Koreas held summits three times in 2018. After the latest summit in Pyongyang in September 2018, Kim promised to visit Seoul at an early date.
