Seoul will take the initiative in dialogue on humanitarian cooperation with North Korea regardless of Pyongyang’s development of nuclear weapons, South Korean President Moon Jae-in reiterated on Wednesday.

The comment comes two days after the South Korea sent a proposal to North Korea for talks on easing military tensions and the reunion of separated families on Monday.

Seoul hopes that talks will take place on July 21 and August 1.

President Moon reinstated that he “explained several times the difference between dialogue on denuclearization and talks dealing with non-political and humanitarian issues” in meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese
