South Korean President Moon Jae-in met North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Saturday to discuss Kim’s possible upcoming summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, Cheong Wa Dae said. It was the second meeting of the two leaders after their first on April 27.

The meeting took place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the northern side of Panmunjeom, said the presidential office.

President Moon will announce the outcome of the meeting at 10 a.m.

“They shared ideas and discussed implementation of the outcome of their meeting on April 27 and talked about working to make the upcoming Kim-Trump summit a success,” said presidential spokesman Yoon Young-chan in a statement.

The meeting came hours after South Korea expressed relief over revived talks for a summit between Trump and Kim following a whirlwind 24 hours that saw Trump cancel the highly anticipated meeting with Kim before saying it’s potentially back on.

Trump later tweeted that the summit, if it does happen, will likely take place on June 12 in Singapore as originally planned.
