SEOUL, May 16 (Xinhua) -- South Korea and the United States have agreed to hold a summit meeting in late June in Washington, the presidential Blue House said Tuesday.
Senior presidential press secretary Yoon Young-chan told a press briefing that the summit between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Donald Trump will be held in late June in the U.S. capital.
Detailed schedule and agenda for the summit will be discussed later through diplomatic channels, Yoon said.
The agreement on the summit was reached between Matt Pottinger, a senior director for East Asia at the National Security Council of the White House and Chung Eui-yong, former South Korean ambassador to Geneva who now leads Moon's security and diplomatic task force.
Pottinger who was leading a U.S. delegation arrived here Monday evening. He paid a courtesy call to President Moon and delivered Trump's congratulations to Moon, according to the Blue House.
The Blue House said South Korea and the United States confirmed their ultimate goal of "complete" denuclearization of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
To achieve that goal, the two allies will seek all available measures, including pressures and dialogue, according to the Blue House.
Seoul and Washington agreed to hold talks with the DPRK under "right" circumstances.
