"I am happy to meet you," a smiling Moon told Kim before the visitor stepped over the concrete blocks, making him the first North Korean leader to set foot in the South since the Korean War ended in an armistice 65 years ago. Kim was "flooded with emotion", he told Moon as the meeting began. "That's what makes this summit all the more difficult," the chief of the South's presidential secretariat Im Jong-seok told reporters. After a morning session lasting an hour and 40 minutes, Kim crossed back to the North for lunch, a dozen security guards jogging alongside his limousine. Before the afternoon session, Moon and Kim are to hold a symbolic tree planting ceremony on the demarcation line.
