In this video, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un stepped over the Military Demarcation Line to meet South Korean President Moon Jae-in the South side after a “historic handshake” that signaled the start of warmer relations between the two Koreas.

At the Military Demarcation Line that delineates the border, Moon asked him: “While you come to the South, when can I possibly go over there?”

After stepping over the line and becoming the first North Korean leader to set foot in the South since the end of the Korean War in 1953, Kim responded: “Why don’t we just cross over now?” – prompting Moon’s unscripted entry into Northern territory.

Later on, Kim said: “The border is not even that high. Wouldn’t it disappear if many people keep walking across it?”

Moon expressed hopes that after their summit at Panmunjom, “our meetings will continue at Pyongyang, Seoul, Jeju island and Paektu mountain” — the island and mountain at the southern and northern ends of the Korean peninsula.  (Agence France Presse)
