S. Korea's Moon asks Kim to salvage Trump meeting

South Korean President Moon Jae-in has asked North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to salvage his scheduled summit with US President Donald Trump, footage of the latest inter-Korean summit released Sunday showed.

The leaders of the divided Koreas held a surprise meeting Saturday at the border village of Panmunjom, also the venue of their historic first summit held less than a month earlier on April 27.

At the start of his second summit with Kim, the South Korean president said he hoped the North would make the best use of the US-North Korea summit set to be held in Singapore on June 12, the footage released by Moon's presidential office Cheong Wa Dae showed.

Moon's remarks came one day after the US president called off his scheduled meeting with Kim, citing what he called the North's tremendous anger and open hostility toward his country.

Trump has since hinted at the possibility of the summit still being held as scheduled.

Moon was soon set to announce the outcome of his latest summit with Kim in a press conference. (Yonhap)
