North and South Korea will seek a 'peace regime' to end the Korean War after 68 years as Kim Jong-un agreed to 'complete denuclearisation' during historic talks today.
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.'
'I sincerely hope both North and South can move freely through the path that I have just come by today. And we are going to be one again, as we share the same history, the same language, the same culture, the same blood.
'We are going to happily look back at the hard times in the pas when we achieve a new future. No pain, no gain. Let us go forward, step by step for the bright future together.'
It comes following a year in which North Korea, the South and the US traded increasingly bellicose rhetoric about nuclear war amid a series of atomic tests by Kim's regime, but then dramatically softened their stances in the last few months.
