Revealed inside the Inter-Korean Summit meeting room
Images of the main meeting room - where the Inter-Korean Summit between the leaders of the two countries on the Korean Peninsula will be held on April 27 - have just been revealed.
This room is located on the second floor of the Peace House in the truce village of Panmunjom on the South Korean side.
In the middle of the main conference room is a large oval conference table with 14 chairs arranged around it. In the middle of each side will be a larger chair, believed to be for leader Kim Jong-un and his counterpart Moon Jae-in. The two leaders will sit facing each other, flanked by senior officials. A painting of North Korea's Mount Kumgang hangs prominently on the wall.

Previously used for ministerial meetings between the two sides, the entire building has been redecorated to welcome South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The two leaders will sit down at the meeting table to discuss a range of issues, including North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
Yonhap news agency on April 23 quoted a South Korean official as saying that the Inter-Korean Summit between President Moon Jae-in and the North Korean leader will open on the morning of April 27 and is expected to have an official dinner at the truce village of Panmunjom.
The special menu that the South Korean side prepared to treat leader Kim Jong-un included Swiss rösti, grilled John Dory fish, and Pyongyang-style cold noodles naengmyeon.
South Korean presidential spokesman Kwun Hyuk-ki confirmed that the two sides agreed to allow live broadcasting of this summit.
The high-level inter-Korean dialogue is expected to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula, creating favorable conditions to resolve long-standing deadlocks on the peninsula following a series of ballistic missile and nuclear tests last year.
