North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in are meeting at their mutual border.
Kim has crossed over to the southern side, the first North Korean leader to do so since the end of the Korean War.
They will discuss North Korea’s indications it could be willing to give up its nuclear weapons.
North Korea has been isolated for decades because of its nuclear and missile programme and its dismal human rights record.
The meeting could pave the way for Mr Kim to meet US President Donald Trump later this year.
This rare dialogue comes after months of improving relations between the two countries and will pave the way to proposed talks between the United States and North Korea.
Denuclearisation and peace on the peninsula will top the agenda. While analysts are sceptical Pyongyang will agree to give up its nuclear weapons, the summit carries promise for both Koreas. Each side has other problems – like sanctions and separated families – they’re likely to bring to the negotiating table. Agencies
