The leaders of North and South Korea have announced a large range of agreements after their talks in Pyongyang. On the key point of denuclearization, South Korean President Moon Jae-in says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un agreed to permanently shut down a major missile facility in front of international inspectors.
Moon also said the North Korean leader promised to dismantle the North’s main nuclear compound in Nyongbyon, but only if the US reciprocates.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in signed an agreement on denuclearisation, reducing military tensions and defusing crisis on the peninsula in Pyongyang today.
The North Korean leader stated that the regime is willing to demolish the country’s largest nuclear facility in Yongbyon if the US takes corresponding measures. Mr Kim also pledged to visit Seoul, the first visit by a North Korean leader to the South since the Korean War.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in said that the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula will happen in the near future. He also expressed hope that the talks between North Korea and the US will be revived as soon as possible.
The leaders of the two militaries, South Korean defence Minister Song Young-moo and North Korea’s Minister for the People’s Armed Forces No Kwang-chol also signed a declaration.
