Abe also said he and Moon agreed that the two countries will work together to have North Korea take concrete actions for complete denuclearization.

The United States, Japan and South Korea will make unified efforts toward the dismantlement of North Korea's nuclear arms, ballistic missiles and all weapons of mass destruction, he added.

Moon and Kim held the third-ever inter-Korean summit south of the Military Demarcation Line at the border truce village of Panmunjom. In the so-called Panmunjom Declaration, they reaffirmed their commitment to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and agreed to work toward a formal end of the Korean War within this year. 

The leaders also agreed the two countries will halt all hostile acts, enhance high-level communications and resume the reunions of separated families, among other things. (Yonhap)
