GOYANG, South Korea — The leaders of North and South Korea met Friday, April 27, at the
border of their countries.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in set aside a year that
saw them almost on the edge of war. They grasped hands and walked together across the cracked
concrete marking the Koreas' border.
They said they would work toward having no nuclear weapons in either country. The leaders also
plan to work toward an official end to the Korean War this year. However, their meeting ended
