ROK, DPRK leaders begin formal talks at 3rd inter-Korean summit

ROK, DPRK leaders
The Republic of Korea (ROK)'s President Moon Jae-in and top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Jong Un began formal talks Friday morning in the ROK side of the border village of Panmunjom in the third-ever inter-Korea summit.


After attending an official welcoming ceremony which included an inspection of a ROK honor guard, the two leaders launched talks on peace and prosperity of the Korean Peninsula at a conference room on the second floor of the Peace House, a ROK building inside Panmunjom dividing the two Koreas.

Kim made history by becoming the first DPRK leader to step onto ROK soil since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.

Standing on the two sides of the military demarcation line (MDL), marked only by a low concrete slab, Moon and Kim shook hands with beaming smiles on their faces for their first meeting.

The previous two inter-Korea summits took place in the DPRK capital of Pyongyang in 2000 and 2007, respectively.
