North, South Korea Sign Agreement on Denuclearization, Kim Jong Un to visit Seoul

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in signed an agreement on denuclearization and lowering military tensions on the peninsula in Pyongyang.

Kim Jong Un has agreed to permanently dismantle key missile facilities and will shut down Pyongyang’s main nuclear complex if the U.S. agrees to corresponding measures.

The two leaders also agreed to take further steps toward the process. “We agreed to make the Korean Peninsula [an area] with no nuclear arms,” Kim said in a news conference after the signing ceremony. “The agreement reflects our wish for the reunification for the two Koreas.”

Kim also promised to visit Seoul. This would mark the first visit by a North Korean leader to the South since the Korean War.
