S. Korea's Moon says will visit Pyongyang in 'right circumstances'

S. Korea's Moon says will visit Pyongyang in 'right circumstances'
New South Korean President Moon Jae-In on Wednesday declared his willingness to visit the nuclear-armed North, moments after taking his oath of office.


Tensions are high over the North's weapons ambitions and Moon -- who backs engagement with Pyongyang -- said he would work for peace. "If needed I will fly to Washington immediately," he said. "I will also go to Beijing and Tokyo and even Pyongyang in the right circumstances." DM
