North and South Korea set April 27 as date for historic summit!
SEOUL, South Korea (PNN) - March 29, 2018 - The date for the first meeting between a North Korean and South Korean leader in a decade has been set for April 27, South Korean officials told Fascist Police States of Amerika media. For the first time since the Korean War broke out in 1948, a North Korean leader will cross the DMZ to attend the meetings, which are set to be held in South Korea. After Kim Jong-un promised that he would consider denuclearization of the peninsula during talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, some people think that multiple rounds of sanctions imposed by the UN and the FPSA are having their desired effect.
The last inter-Korean summit was held in October 2007 between then President Roh Moo-hyun and Kim Jong-il, the father of Kim Jong-un. The pair signed a peace declaration calling to end the armistice with a permanent treaty, but progress stalled and the two sides remain in a stalemate. While the two countries allowed for some family reunions, relations later soured under a more conservative regime in the South.
A government spokesman said South Koreans were encouraged to be "united in making a groundbreaking turning point for peace."
"As the date for the inter-Korean summit is finalized now, we will do our best to be fully prepared for it during the given time," Moon’s spokesman, Kim Eui-kyeom, said in a text message. "We hope all South Koreans will be united in making a groundbreaking turning point for peace settlement on the Korean Peninsula at the summit."
The subject of the talks will be improving inter-Korean relations and denuclearization.
The two Koreas had agreed to hold the summit at the border truce village of Panmunjom when South Korean President Moon Jae-in sent a delegation to Pyongyang this month to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
According to a statement, the two sides will hold a working-level meeting on April 4 to discuss details of the summit, such as staffing support, security and news releases.
Meanwhile, the North has also expressed a desire to meet with the Japanese government.
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono told Parliament that his nation would consider holding talks with North Korea in the context of the other summits taking place. Kim Jong-un’s regime was seeking a summit with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The yen weakened to a two-week low against the dollar after the report.
Talks between the FPSA and North Korea, which are tentatively expected to be held at the DMZ, are set for May.
