Kim hopes to hold 2nd summit with Trump rapidly: Moon

First Moon-Kim summit, Panmunjom, April 27

Moon and Kim met in Panmunjom on April 27 for the first time for the third inter-Korean summit since 2000, signing the Panmunjom Declaration in which the two sides agreed to improve inter-Korean relations, ease military tensions and completely denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.

The declaration carries three main themes: the establishment of a peace regime, efforts to ease military tensions and co-prosperity and unification of the two Koreas.

At the summit, they agreed to actively push for talks involving ROK, the DPRK, China and the United States, to establish a permanent peace regime by turning the current armistice agreement into a peace treaty and declaring an end to the 1950-1953 Korean War in the year 2018, marking the 65th anniversary of the signing of the armistice agreement.

Moon and Kim also agreed to transform the demilitarized zone into a peace zone and the west sea border area into a maritime peace zone.
