President Moon Jae-in has held a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Presidential spokesman Yoon Young-chan said in a written news briefing that the two leaders met at Tongilgak on the northern side of the truce village of Panmunjeom from 3:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.

The spokesperson said the two leaders earnestly exchanged opinions on the implementation of the Panmunjeom Declaration and the successful hosting of the U.S.-North Korea summit. 

He added that President Moon will announce the results of the talks at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday.

The unexpected summit took place after U.S. President Donald Trump said the Washington-Pyongyang talks he canceled could still be held.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump said he is still open to holding a summit with Kim on June 12th, noting that lines of communication had opened with North Korea.

He also tweeted that "very productive talks" were under way with North Korea about reinstating the summit.
