Before attending the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter games, President Moon Jae-in will meet several high-ranking foreign guests.
Hwang Hojun fills us in on the liberal leader's 'Olympic Diplomacy' schedule.
It was an extremely busy day for the South Korean President on Friday as he held separate one-on-ones with three world leaders.
President Moon first met held a luncheon meeting with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
It was his third meeting with the UN chief... after the G20 summit in July and the UN General Assembly in September.
President Moon said the atmosphere in terms of inter-Korean relations has changed dramatically since his visit to New York.

"Led by Secretary General Guterres, the United Nations and the international community have protected peace on the Korean Peninsula. You have helped us to host a peaceful and safe PyeongChang Olympics."

The UN Secretary General in return said that while the Olympic Games are important, the real reason he visited South Korea was to express his solidarity with the South Korean people who have achieved the most outstanding success since the Second World War.
The Blue House also confirmed that the two leaders agreed that efforts should be made to ensure that the momentum for dialogue built up during the Pyeongchang Olympics needs to lead to dialogue between Washington and Pyongyang... to ultimately resolve the North Korea nuclear issue.
Later in the afternoon, President Moon also met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
And with that, President Moon had met with all the delegates and heads of state from the four key powers in the region, minus Russia.
During the meeting with Abe, President Moon first expressed his gratitude for Abe's visit to South Korea and called for joint efforts from both Seoul and Tokyo for the two countries to become, quote, "true friends."

"As I have repeatedly said before, I plan to work with the Prime Minister to pave the way for future-oriented cooperation while looking squarely at history. To do so, I would like to reinforce close communication at the summit level and restore and improve shuttle diplomacy between our two countries."

Shortly afterwards, the South Korean President met with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
The two leaders exchanged views on how to boost their bilateral relations in areas including the
Fourth Industrial Revolution and green energy, before heading to a pre-opening-ceremony reception for the leaders hosted by President Moon himself.

I think president Moon Jae-in is a pacifist, I love that so much. He's a good man who don't want any war and believe in pacifism instead of extremism. Great Yar.
