Moon urges South Koreans to support dialogue with North, PyeongChang cooperation

Amid growing domestic opposition, President warns atmosphere for talks may not last

South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Monday urged the South Korean public to support his government’s North Korea policy, warning that the "atmosphere of dialogue" may dissipate after the upcoming Winter Olympics.

Speaking at a weekly meeting with his chief secretaries and aides, Moon said he hoped the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and Paralympics would encourage Seoul and Pyongyang to sit face to face again after a two-year hiatus of dialogue.
