SEOUL -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Wednesday left open the door for a three-way summit involving the United States and the two Koreas, saying it depends on progress at a historic meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The U.S.-North Korea summit that will follow an inter-Korean summit in April will be a global event, Moon told a summit preparation committee. "Depending on the location, it may even more dramatic," he said, according to pool reports.

"Depending on progress, it may lead to summit talks between the two Koreas and the United States," Moon said, calling for complete denuclearization and peace on the Korean peninsula.

Moon said the agenda should include denuclearization, a permanent peace system, the normalization of North Korea-U.S. relations, the development of inter-Korean ties, and economic cooperation among the three countries.

"It's an uncharted way we have not gone, but we have a clear idea. We also have a clear goal and vision to achieve through an agreement between the leaders of South Korea, North Korea and the United States," he said.
