A South Korean delegation met North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during their one-day visit to Pyongyang Wednesday. The photos released by Cheong Wa Dae after their return late on the day showed the meeting proceeded amicably. In many of them, the North Korean leader was captured with a big smile on his face. Speculation is that the southern team has gained what they went for regarding the third summit between President Moon Jae-in and Kim and perhaps a breakthrough to the Pyongyang-Washington impasse over the first's nuclear disarmament. The presidential office will give a briefing about the special envoy's trip this morning.
