Summit may boost peninsular peace

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea's top leader Kim Jong-un said he hopes to help bring about a "big outcome" with Republic of Korea President Moon Jae-in, as the two leaders held their third summit this year in Pyongyang to rekindle stalled denuclearization diplomacy.

The two began their first round of official talks on Tuesday afternoon. Moon and Kim are expected to have a second round of talks on Wednesday and jointly announce the results of their two-day summit at a news conference.

Kim greeted Moon on Tuesday morning with an embrace as the ROK leader landed in the DPRK's capital to revive momentum in talks over denuclearization of the peninsula and advance the prospect of formally ending the Korean War.
