Also at the nation's top office.
President Moon invited four key political and government leaders for a luncheon, to brief them on the results of the historic inter-Korean event, and also to fill them in on his upcoming diplomatic schedule.
Hwang Hojun has the highlights from that session It was the first meeting of its kind since the historic summit between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un,... and the third one since President Moon took office almost a year ago.
The liberal leader pointed out that things have changed since then.
"We all met last July shortly after I took office, and we met again last October. At that time, the security situation was pretty bad. But it has improved to the point where the two Koreas have held a summit."
President Moon had initially invited the so-called "five next-in-command"... to the Thursday's luncheon at the Blue House.
Those five are Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon ,... National Assembly Speaker Chung Sye-kyun ,... Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Lee Jin-sung ,... head of the National Election Commission Kwon Soon-il ,... and Supreme Court Chief Justice Kim Meong-soo .
But Chief Justice Kim Meong-soo is visiting Spain, Argentina and Chile, so he was unable to attend.
During the 90-minute session, the officials were briefed by a top national security official on the results of the summit... and actions to follow up on the Panmunjom Declaration.
According to the Blue House, National Assembly Speaker Chung noted that because both the South Korean and U.S. presidents still have several years left in office, there's a much greater chance the Panmunjom Declaration will actually be implemented.
The Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court said he felt genuineness on the part of North Korea as he watched the summit broadcast last Friday.
South Korea's Prime Minister praised the live streaming process, saying it amplified the message of peace to the world.
And the National Election Commission chief said building trust is a two-way street and that the two Koreas need to work together to gain each other's trust.
The menu for the lunch was the same as last Friday's dinner in Panmunjeom so Seoul's Big 4 could taste the dishes served at the summit.
President Moon insisted that North Korea is taking part in the summits with sincerity... and accepting reality, unlike before.
He pointed out that Pyongyang is taking a leap of faith,... and said Seoul must seize this once-in-a-life-time opportunity.
