The first meeting of the delegations has already ended, the presidents will have lunch alone. Kim, in a black limousine under security, returned to his country. Later in the evening he will return to South Korea to continue negotiations.

The meeting of Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae Ying was the culmination of the process of gradual warming of relations between Seoul and Pyongyang, which began several months ago. It is assumed that it will prepare the ground for the upcoming talks between the United States and the DPRK.

“The Korean War is over!...After unimaginable missile launches and nuclear tests, a historic meeting is taking place between the leaders of North and South Korea. This is great, but only time will tell how effective it will be!” Trump tweeted.

However, many analysts remain skeptical about the sincerity of recent statements by the North to renounce nuclear weapons.

Pyongyang last week объявил on the termination of nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles, as well as the closure of a nuclear test site in the north of the country.

The tests are being frozen "in order to ensure economic growth and peace on the Korean Peninsula."
