SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the South's President Moon Jae-in shook hands Friday over the Military Demarcation Line that divides their countries in a gesture laden with symbolism ahead of a historic summit. It did not mention denuclearisation, but the North's atomic arsenal will be high on the agenda at the talks. "That's what makes this summit all the more difficult," the chief of the South's presidential secretariat Im Jong-seok told reporters. "The big issues we know are peace and denuclearisation," Yonsei University professor John Delury told AFP. But it also said it had completed the development of its weapons and had no need for further tests.
