ROK President Moon Jae-in's special envoys met on Wednesday with Kim Jongun, top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, on their one-day visit to Pyongyang, the presidential Blue House of the Republic of Korea said.

The five-member special delegation, led by Chung Eui-yong, Moon's top national security adviser, flew via the western air route over the inter-Korean sea border to the DPRK capital.

The delegation delivered Moon's letter to Kim, exchanging opinions on the Korean Peninsula situations, according to the Blue House.

The special emissaries were scheduled to return home later in the day after having dinner there.

The Blue House planned to hold a news conference on Thursday on the outcome of the visit.

Moon's special envoys went to Pyongyang to discuss with the DPRK side a detailed schedule and agenda for the third Moon-Kim summit, which the two neighbors have agreed to hold in Pyongyang before the end of this month.
