President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol's transition team called for "peace and prosperity through denuclearization" Friday after revelations that President Moon Jae-in exchanged letters with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

"I believe it is a great cause of the people to achieve peace and prosperity through denuclearization," a transition team official said, commenting on the exchange of letters between Moon and Kim.

According to the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim received a letter from Moon, Wednesday, and sent a reply letter the next day.
