Kim Jong-un will meet President Moon Jae-in on the border between South and North Korea tomorrow in the first summit between the two sides in more than a decade.
The North Korean dictator will be greeted by Moon after crossing a military demarcation line before the pair are escorted by South Korean honour guards to a welcome ceremony.
A summit will then take place at a plaza in Panmunjom, the border village where the summit is to be held, according to the South’s presidential chief of staff, Im Jong-seok.
After the end of the first session of talks, Kim Jong Un and Moon will have lunch separately before holding a tree-planting ceremony in the afternoon, Im said.
Kim Jong-un is to cross the Korean border for a face-to-face meeting with the South’s President Moon Jae-in on Friday as the two countries hold the first summit in more than a decade
A pine tree will be planted on the demarcation line to symbolise ‘peace and prosperity’, Im said, using soil from Mount Paektu in North Korea and Mount Halla in South Korea.
Kim and Moon will water the tree with water brought from the Taedong River in the North and the Han River in the South, Im said. Afterwards, Moon and Kim will take a walk together in Panmunjom before beginning the next round of talks.
At the end of the talks, Kim and Moon will sign a pact and make an announcement, Im said. Later, they will have dinner on the South’s side and watch a video clip themed ‘Spring of One’, he added.
Official dialogue between Kim and Moon will begin at 1030am (0130 GMT) at the Peace House in Panmunjom, an hour after Kim is scheduled the cross the border at 9.30am (0030 GMT).
‘This summit will focus more on denuclearisation and securing of permanent peace than anything else,’ Im said on Thursday.
