Seven out of 10 South Koreans expressed support for the outcome of President Moon Jae-in's latest summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, a poll showed Friday.

In the survey on 501 adults conducted by pollster Realmeter, 71.6 percent of the respondents are supportive of the results of the third inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang, while 22.1 percent gave a negative assessment.

President Moon visited Pyongyang from Tuesday to Thursday for his third summit with Kim, followed by summit talks in April and May.

Kim agreed to "permanently" dismantle a key missile testing site under the observation of international experts. He also expressed the country's readiness to close its nuclear complex in Yongbyon, depending on corresponding actions by Washington.

The poll showed that 93.5 percent of supporters for the ruling Democratic Party (DP) and 89.9 percent of advocates for the minor liberal Justice Party hailed the summit outcome.

Meanwhile, 54.4 percent of supporters for the main opposition Liberty Korea Party gave a negative evaluation of the results.

It said that 78.6 percent of those in their 30s supported the summit outcome, followed by 78.1 percent of people in their 40s and 69.8 percent of 50-somethings. (Yonhap)
