Kim, Moon sign pact vowing denuclearization of peninsula

The second day of the landmark summit between Republic of Korea President Moon Jae-in and top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Jong-un ended with a sweeping set of agreements that included a vow to make the Korean Peninsula permanently free of nuclear weapons and nuclear threats.

Declaring they had made a major step toward peace on the Korean Peninsula, the two leaders were side by side as they announced the joint statement to a group of reporters after a closed-door meeting held on Wednesday morning.

"We have agreed to make the Korean Peninsula a land of peace that is free of nuclear weapons and nuclear threats, and the agreements we signed carry our people's fresh hopes and their strong, burning desire for reunification," Kim told reporters.
