South Korean President, Moon Jae-In, on Monday, called for officials to try to find a way to restart talks between North Korea and the United States.

Moon presided over a National Security Council; NSC meeting and said he believes talks will ultimately end in an agreement, but that “it is never desirable for the stalemate to continue for long”.

He also told officials to explore ways to proceed with inter-Korean initiatives within the framework of sanctions.

The breakdown of the U.S.- North Korea summit was a blow for Moon, who had hoped eased U.S. sanctions would help lead to a restart of inter-Korean projects including a factory park, key to his vision for a pan-peninsula economic community.
