South Korea's presidential office Cheong Wa Dae expressed both disappointment and hope over the outcome of the second U.S.-North Korea summit held Thursday, insisting the countries have made more progress than ever, even without an agreement.
"(We) do feel regret that President (Donald) Trump and Chairman Kim Jong-un could not reach complete agreement at today's summit. But it also appears that they have clearly made more meaningful progress than at any time in the past," Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom said in a released statement.
The reaction came shortly after Trump and Kim ended their two-day summit in Hanoi without an agreement. (Yonhap)
