Koreas to build 'new economic map' after denuclearisation: Moon Jae-in
SINGAPORE: South Korea is willing to build an economic community with North Korea once the effort to root out Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions is completed, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said on Friday (Jul 13).
"If North Korea carves out specific implementation measures for denuclearisation and if South Korea and US respond quickly with corresponding comprehensive measures, the process will move faster," he said in a speech during a visit to Singapore.

He also urged North Korea and the United States to move forward on a pact to end Pyongyang's nuclear programme.
"If Chairman Kim (Jong Un) keeps the promise of denuclearisation, he will be able to lead his country into prosperity," Moon said.
"This path is never easy, but if the agreements at the summit are implemented with sincerity, the goal can be achieved," he added, referring to Kim's meeting with US President Donald Trump at Sentosa last month.
