SEOUL, March 19 (Xinhua) -- South Korea, the United States and Japan held a senior-level security meeting over the weekend to discuss issues on the Korean Peninsula denuclearization, the Blue House of South Korea said Monday.
The meeting was held in San Francisco for two days from Saturday to discuss the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the agreed summits between South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and between the DPRK and the United States.
Attendees at the meeting were Chung Eui-yong, top security adviser for South Korean President Moon Jae-in; H.R. McMaster, national security adviser for U.S. President Donald Trump; and Shotaro Yachi, national security adviser for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
During the meeting, they shared a view that it would be significant not to repeat the past failures, agreeing to keep close coordination among the three parties in the next weeks.
The meeting came as South Korea and the DPRK agreed to hold their third summit in late April in the truce village of Panmunjom. Trump said he would meet top DPRK leader Kim Jong Un by May for a permanent denuclearization.
