For the Korean Peninsula, 2018 is remembered as the year of diplomacy breakthroughs that have won acclaim from the international community.

The year witnessed three inter-Korean summits, three China-DPRK summits and the first-ever DPRK-US summit which took place in Singapore in June.

The DPRK also sent a delegation to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics held in the Republic of Korea and at the opening of the Olympics, athletes from the two countries marched under one flag.

While each of these meetings has produced new agreements, the DPRK has also destroyed the Punggyeri nuclear test site, marking the beginning of the Korean Peninsula's denuclearization.
