"This is a big and very positive statement from North Korea. Thank you To Chairman Kim. We will both prove everyone wrong!" he tweeted, Asia News reported.

"There is nothing like good dialogue from two people that like each other! Much better than before I took office," Trump stated.

The tweet included a quote that said experts believe the missiles were cut from the parade to show Trump North Korea's commitment to denuclearizing.

"Theme was peace and economic development," the US president said.

The US president said on Friday he was expecting a letter from Kim. He has since appeared upbeat about the state of relations.

The two leaders met in June in Singapore, ending a tense months-long standoff over the North's missile and nuclear tests.

The North Korean leader pledged to work toward the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, following Washington's demands for a "final, fully verified denuclearisation of North Korea".
