SEOUL - President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Moon Jae-in will visit Washington next month for the summit meeting with US President Donald Trump, the ROK's presidential Blue House said Friday.

Senior Blue House press secretary Yoon Do-han told a press briefing that President Moon and first lady Kim Jung-sook will visit the United States from April 10 to April 11 at the invitation of President Trump and his wife Melania Trump.

During the summit on April 11 (Washington time), Moon and Trump will make an in-depth discussion on ways to strengthen the bilateral alliance further and to build a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula through the complete denuclearization of the peninsula.

The Moon-Trump summit would come after the second summit between Trump and top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Jong-un ended with no agreement in late February in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi.

Following the second Kim-Trump summit, the US president told Moon via phone that the ROK president would play a role compromising denuclearization negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington.

Moon has said he would broker a compromise between the DPRK and the United States for permanent peace on and complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
