South Korean President Moon Jae In said Wednesday that a trilateral summit with the United States and North Korea may be held, depending on the results of their separate summits due to take place in the coming months.

Moon's remarks suggested that the trilateral summit might be held after a summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, possibly in May, or Moon could join the U.S.-N. Korea summit if it is held at the truce village of Panmunjeom.

It is the first time Moon has referred to the possibility of a trilateral summit between Seoul, Washington and Pyongyang.

He spoke at the presidential office during a meeting of the preparation committee for the inter-Korean summit, scheduled to take place in late April.

"We must completely resolve the issues of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula and establishing peace through these upcoming talks and others that will follow," Yonhap News Agency quoted Moon as saying at the meeting, citing pool reports.
