During and earlier interview with a local newspaper, Moon said Kazakhstan's wisdom and experience of denuclearization can be of great help for the peace process on the Korean Peninsula.
The Central Asian nation once held the world's fourth-largest nuclear stockpile with over 14-hundred warheads,… but relinquished all of its Soviet-era weapons by mid-1995,… and adopted a policy of non-proliferation.
The leaders also discussed their economic ties and agreed to increase their countries' future-oriented cooperation and better their people-to-people exchanges.
Moon said his New Northern Policy, aimed at ensuring peace and the joint development of Eurasia,... falls right in line with Kazakh's plan of becoming one of the world's 30 advanced nations by 2050 under its national development strategy.
"The South Korean leader is learning about denuclearization from a country which has first-hand experience with the process,… in hopes the experience will allow him to better play his role of mediator when it comes to the North’s denuclearization.
