North and South Korea's Push for Peace

North and South Korea have pledged to remove all nuclear weapons from their peninsula and have also agreed to work towards an official end to the Korean War. In this meeting between Kim Jong Un and President Moon Jae, Kim Jong Un became the first North Korean leader to step foot in South Korea. The two leaders even held hands and walked back and forth across the demarcation line dividing the two countries. This was the first meeting between the two leaders since 2007. A year ago this would have never of been seen as possible. The real question now is whether peace negotiations will continue between the two countries or not.
