Update | Kim Jong-un offers to visit South Korea president Moon Jae-in’s official Seoul residence
North Korean leader said during morning’s opening talks with South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in he would like to visit him at his official residence in Seoul
North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un has offered to visit the official residence of the South Korean president in Seoul as the two men wrapped up the morning session of the historic summit between the two countries’ leaders aimed at bringing peace to the Korean peninsula.
Kim expressed his will to visit President Moon Jae-in’s official home, known as the Blue House, “at anytime” if an invitation was extended, said Yoon Yong-chan, a South Korean presidential official.
Kim and Moon have been holding talks in the Peace House, just south of the border in the demilitarised zone separating the two Koreas.
Moon reacted positively to the suggestion, replying there was a better view from the Blue House, according to Yoon.
Earlier on Friday, Kim walked across the border between the two Koreas - the first time a North Korean leader had stepped foot on South Korean soil since the end of the Korean war in 1953.
The meeting was also the first inter-Korean summit in more than a decade.
