Kim Jong Un called for more meetings with his South Korean counterpart after becoming the first North Korean leader to cross the border to hold talks over his nuclear weapons program.
Kim made the offer to South Korean President Moon Jae-in as the pair met Friday on their militarized boundary for the first summit between the rival governments in 11 years. Both men basked in symbolism of the moment. Kim declared “a new history” and an “era of peace,” while Moon said the “weight on our shoulders is heavy.”
