GOYANG: The leaders of North and South
Korea agreed to
pursue a permanent peace treaty and the complete denuclearisation of their
divided peninsula at a historic summit Friday laden with symbolism.
The North's leader Kim Jong Un and the South's President Moon Jae-in embraced after signing what they called the Panmunjom Declaration, following a day that began with an emotional handshake over the Military Demarcation Line that splits their countries.
The pair issued a statement confirming their "common goal of realising, through complete denuclearisation, a nuclear-free Korean peninsula".
They agreed they would this year seek a permanent end to the Korean War, 65 years after hostilities ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty.
Moon would visit Pyongyang in "the fall", the two leaders said, also pledging to hold "regular meetings and direct telephone conversations".
