Kim Jong-un became the first North Korean leader to step into the South for 65 years as he met with President Moon Jae-in for a peace summit today. The two sworn enemies exchanged a warm greeting at the 38th parallel in the truce village of Panmunjom before the pair held talks and planted a commemorative tree together. This afternoon, they embraced warmly after signing a statement in which they declared 'there will be no more war on the Korean Peninsula'. Kim said 'we are going to be one again' as he spoke of 'sharing the same blood' before adding: 'We should pave the way for a new future where all the people can live peacefully.'
The wives of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in have met for the first time. Ri Sol-ju, the wife of Kim Jong-un, crossed the border in the Demilitarized Zone into South Korean territory on Friday to attend the summit dinner hosted by President Moon Jae-in. Before sitting at the dinner table, she had a brief conversation with South Korean first lady Kim Jung-sook, marking the first-ever meeting between first ladies of the two Koreas. They later joined their husbands for a banquet dinner and both couples seemed delighted to be together.
