It was very easy to walk over the line but took them 11 years to get there.

South Korean President Moon praised Kim’s courageous and bold decision to sit down for talks. Moon said that over the past decades they weren’t able to communicate so now they are together they could talk the whole day, the statement made Kim burst into laughter.

North Korean Leader Kim was accompanied by his sister Kim Yo Jong who had led the Pyongyang commission to 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. Kim was not accompanied by his wife Ri Sol Ju on his visit.

Senior Spokesman of Moon said that Kim had joked he would make sure not to disturb Moon’s sleep anymore suggesting North Korea’s series of early missile testing last year. Kim also stated he would visit the Seoul President’s Blue House if he was invited.
