Ex-President Moon's memoir to be out later this month
SEOUL, May 8 (Yonhap) -- Former President Moon Jae-in's memoir will be published later this month, his first since his presidency ended in May 2022, the book's publisher said Wednesday.
The book, the title of which translates into "From the Periphery to the Center," is set for release on May 20, Gimm-Young Publishers said. It adopts a question-and-answer format, with the questions posed by Choi Jong-kun, who served as vice minister of foreign affairs under the Moon government.
The memoir is expected to recount significant diplomatic events, such as his summit meetings with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Additional behind-the-scenes stories about key diplomatic events will be shared with readers, according to the publisher.
The book "candidly documented not only diplomatic and security achievements, but also regrets, limitations, successes and failures of his policies," it said.
"The book also contains hopes and advice for the current international and inter-Korean situations, as well as future changes."
