Kim Jong-un reveals unprecedented things to South Korean leader

A day ago, Chung Eui-yong, senior advisor to South Korean President Moon Jae-in, visited Pyongyang and met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. This is considered a historic moment for the two countries after North Korea sent a delegation to attend the Pyongchang Winter Olympics.

Mr. Kim shook hands with Mr. Chung.

Mr. Chung said the North Korean leader was very happy to receive him and even revealed that the late leader Kim Jong-il's last wish was to denuclearize the Korean peninsula.

Mr. Kim affirmed that he would not keep nuclear weapons if external military threats were no longer present. At the same time, Mr. Kim hoped to receive “reliable security guarantees.”

The North Korean government also expressed its desire for “sincere dialogue with the United States” on denuclearization and diplomacy. Pyongyang affirmed that when the dialogue takes place, the North Korean government will completely freeze nuclear and missile tests.

Previously, US President Donald Trump also wrote on his personal Twitter that he wanted to talk to Pyongyang. Mr. Trump wrote: “For the first time in many years, a major effort is being made by all parties involved. The world is waiting! It may be false hope, but the US will still go all the way.”

Mr. Chung said the North Korean leader affirmed that he would never use nuclear or conventional weapons against South Korea, and agreed to meet President Moon Jae-in this April.

The meeting is expected to be held at the truce village of Panmunjom and will be the first high-level meeting between the two sides in a decade.
