South Korea’s Moon Jae-in said he would push for an early summit with U.S. President-elect Joe Biden to revive nuclear talks stalled for much of the past two years.

The South Korean president told his annual new year’s news conference Monday that he wanted to work with the incoming U.S. administration to “reaffirm our consensus on the peace process in the the Korean Peninsula.” Moon said he hoped the former vice president’s entry to the White House could be a turning point for relations with Kim Jong Un.
