On Saturday morning, Moon visited the former office of the Korean government-in-exile and presented flowers to the statue of his predecessor Kim Koo, an independence leader. He also had a short meeting with descendants of the Korean independence movement activists.

MENG XIAO, GUIDE ROK PROVISIONAL GOVERMENT MUSEUM "The Provisional Government of Republic of Korea was established in Shanghai in 1919 and moved to Chongqing in 1940. That led to the formation of The Korean Liberation Army. And many officers of this army actually graduated from Chinese military schools."

Before leaving the site, Moon wrote an inscription saying "the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea is our root and our spiritual source."

GE YUNFEI CHONGQING "There is a shared piece of history between China and South Korea resisting Japan's aggression during WWII. Moon had already sent his condolences over the Nanjing Massacre twice in Beijing. And his trip to Chongqing apparently seeks to highlight the long history of friendship and cooperation between the two countries."

Later, President Moon attended a China-ROK economic forum and gave a speech, expressing South Korea's strong desire to participate in China's Belt & Road Initiative.

MOON JAE-IN PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA "There are several economical corridors in the Belt & Road Initiative but there is one missing link: the Korean peninsula. We hope to work with China to build an intercontinental rail network that connects the Korean peninsula, China, Russia, Mongolia and Europe. Also we could cooperate in the fields of energy, a cross-border power grid and a digital silk road to shape the future."

Later in the afternoon, Moon finished his trip by visiting a joint-venture factory of the South Korean car-maker Hyundai. Ge Yunfei, CGTN, Chongqing.
