One small step for Kim Jong Un, one giant leap for Korean unity?

KIM JONG UN is set to become the first North Korean leader to enter South Korea in more than 60 years tomorrow as he walks across the border for an historic summit.

He will cross the military demarcation line to meet his counterpart South Korean President Moon Jae In where they are expected to discuss recent indications that Pyongyang may be willing to give up its nuclear weapons.

Mr Kim announced last week that he would suspend nuclear tests, which Pyongyang has previously insisted could only be given up in return for an end to the regular US-South Korean military exercises on its borders, something Washington will not contemplate. The pair will also discuss signing a formal end to the 1950-53 Korean war as they plan a peace process dialogue.
