South Korean President Moon Jae-in, joined by more than 200 officials, is set to embark on a high-stakes trip to Pyongyang for talks with his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong-un.
On an exceptionally rare occasion in the reclusive country, the first moment of the two leaders’ encounter in North Korea’s capital, as well as the summit’s key events, will be beamed live to the rest of the world.
Moon’s three-day trip, which starts on Tuesday and is only the third of its kind for a sitting South Korean president since the division of the Korean Peninsula, comes amid a diplomatic quandary over stalled nuclear disarmament negotiations between North Korea and the United States.
