Dear Excellency:

I am thankful for the personal letter you sent that explicitly laid out your great intentions. In addition, I would like to express my gratitude for sending Director Pompeo as your entrusted delegate to Pyongyang.

Through your personal letter and detailed explanation from Director Pompeo, I fully acknowledge your plans and determination, and I am very encouraged by them. In addition to your great plan, I intend to take big steps to resolve existing issues between our two countries and end negative bilateral relations.

I’m prepared to cooperate with you in sincerity and dedication to accomplish a great feat that no one in the past has been able to achieve and that is unexpected by the whole world. And I am confident that our first meeting will lead to proactive pursuit in this achievement. I eagerly await your momentous decision.
