Moon landing: S. Korean leader arrives in Pyongyang for summit

846

South Korean President Moon Jae-in arrived in Pyongyang Tuesday for his third summit this year with Kim Jong Un as he seeks to reboot stalled denuclearisation talks between North Korea and the United States.

Kim welcomed his visitor at Pyongyang’s international airport where he supervised missile launches last year as tensions mounted the two men embracing after Moon walked down the steps of his aircraft.

Accompanied by their wives, they exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes ahead of a military welcome ceremony as hundreds of people lining the tarmac cheered, waving North Korean flags and unification ones showing an undivided peninsula.

But the South’s own emblem was only visible on Moon’s Boeing 747 aircraft.
