[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] President Moon Jae-in said on the 14th, "We cannot be optimistic about inter-Korean and North Korea-US relations, but it is not a stage of pessimism either."

At the New Year's press conference held at the Blue House State Guest House that day, President Moon made this remark in response to a reporter's question about his trust in Kim Jong-un, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of North Korea.

President Moon said, "President Trump sent a personal letter congratulating Chairman Kim on his birthday, and North Korea immediately responded to it. I evaluate this positively," adding, "Emphasizing the willingness to dialogue through a congratulatory message was a very good idea, and I want to highly appreciate it."
