South Korean leader Moon Jae-in is asked the nation's support for the successful arrangements of the historic summits ahead while his key officials met regional powers in China and Japan.
With the two Koreas' decision to hold a historic summit in late April and the US President Donald Trump's decision to accept talks with Kim Jong Un this May, President Moon remains extra cautious in taking the process forward.
While he pleaded for support for the success of the upcoming talks overseas, his key officials started carrying out President Moon's efforts to bring regional powers on board.
In Beijing, President Moon's National Security Adviser Chung Eui-yong sat down with Chinese President Xi Jinping for 35 minutes on Monday as another delegation headed to Tokyo to brief Japanese officials on the attempts to open talks with Pyongyang on its nuclear and missile program.
The Chinese leader told South Korean official that China is "on the same page" with Seoul and that he hopes for a smooth inter-Korean summit while giving credit to the South for great progress in getting North Korea and the US to agree to dialogue.
In Tokyo, South Korea's National Intelligence Service chief Suh Hoon met with the Japanese Foreign minister. Taro Konno said Japan would work closely with Seoul and Washington calling the situation a near "miracle." Chung will travel from Beijing to Moscow later this week to speak to Russian officials.
Suh is scheduled to meet with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga before returning to Seoul on Tuesday.
