The leaders of North Korea and South Korea promised to end hostilities between the two countries as a step toward removing all nuclear weapons from the Korean peninsula, NBC reported.
North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Friday vowed to “cease all hostile acts” and to “transform the Demilitarized Zone into a peace zone.” The two nations remain in a technical state of war, because the Korean War’s fighting ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty.
In a ceremonial book for the event, Kim wrote, “A new history begins now.”
“We have a chance to heal the wounds,” Kim said.
The day’s words were a far cry from the bellicose rhetoric Kim has used in the past while threatening to destroy South Korea as well as the United States.
President Donald Trump tweeted his reactions to the meeting early Friday morning. He is expected to meet with Kim later this year.

Formally ending the war in Korea would be a huge step. I wish them luck.
