North & South Korea Summit to Be Held April 27

HeadlineMar 29, 2018

The leaders of North and South Korea have set the date for their upcoming high-level talks. The landmark summit between President Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un will be held on April 27 at Freedom House on the southern side of the Demilitarized Zone. This comes after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un traveled to Beijing in an armored train to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. It was the North Korean leader’s first foreign trip since taking office in 2011. During the four-day trip, the two leaders talked about denuclearization, with Kim reportedly saying he was willing to give up North Korea’s nuclear weapons. Kim is also slated to meet soon with President Trump, in what would be the first-ever meeting between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader. Japan has also offered to hold a summit with North Korea. We’ll have more on the developments on North Korea after headlines.
