symbolism moon j.n. and kim jong un his north korean host visiting mt pettigrew this is a mountainous volcano right on the border of north korea and china that is spiritually very significant to all koreans along ago moon had expressed a desire to visit the place and this does seem to be the kind of summit where dreams come true he has visited there with kim later he will then be returning after lunch to seoul possibly addressing the south korean nation and he has a lot to talk about about the events that have taken over over the past few days culminating of course in something which has still stunned people here in south korea the sight of their president addressing one hundred fifty thousand north koreans at the may day stadium in pyongyang on wednesday night it's something that simply doesn't happen but it has happened and that i think is the biggest takeaway

from this summit is not necessarily the length or the extent of the agreement itself in some respects according to a lot of conservative critics especially it really is lacking in detail but it is the spirit in which they have agreed on this deal we saw some of that excitement in the stadium wednesday night it has generated a lot of interest in north korea it has been widely covered in all of the official media there starting really a big feeling of excitement and anticipation of change and where this might lead to as moon has gone around north korea many of the crowds have been chanting b. unification of the fatherland as they put it in north korea it is a long held dream of many people in korea to see a re you know if i. korean peninsula but you do get a sense that in the current mood the current excitement just what might be possible

in the future well meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state has welcomed wednesday's agreement between the two koreas like pompei or has invited north korea's foreign minister to meet with him on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly next week and the statement tom perez says the agreement will mark the beginning of negotiations to transform u.s. d p r k relations through the process of rapid denuclearization of north korea to be completed by january twenty twenty one as committed by chairman kim and to construct a lasting and stable peace regime on the korean peninsula roslyn jordan has more from washington d.c. . mike pompei as offer of talks between the north koreans and the united states comes as a bit of a surprise but perhaps not so much given that earlier on wednesday the u.s. president donald trump said that he recently received another letter from kim jong

noon the leader of north korea and said that he was pleased with the contents and that in his words the situation between washington and pyongyang is quote home now what paul pale is offering is an opportunity for north korean representatives to meet with the u.s. a special representative for north korea steve begun in vienna at some point in the not too far off future the point of their meeting would be to start some sort of negotiation one to perm airily focus on getting north korea to give up its nuclear weapons program and two and this is implied in the statement perhaps work on improved relations direct relations between washington and pyongyang now it's not clear whether these talks which are supposed to start in vienna austria will actually happen under the auspices of the united nations which typically is involved in programs and efforts such as these to denuclearize one country or

another there's also the question of whether u.n. security council resolutions would have to be reversed in order for a closer diplomatic ties and economic ties for that matter to take place between the two countries a lot of questions are being raised here but it seems at least for now the trumpet ministration believes that this is an opportunity to try to move ahead and to try to improve relations with a country which it says was not to far off from being at war with the united states not too long ago when another key player and the story is china scott high to has more on beijing with reaction to the summit. jenna's officials saying they welcomed the developments on the korean peninsula and said that this is a good sign for the peace process for denuclearization and tamping town military tension on the korean peninsula the chinese officials also took this opportunity to say just how important to underline just how important they are china is in this

process to get it where it is now but also to move forward they've said that they are north korea's most important ally and they want to make sure that they essentially have a seat at the table when things move forward they also took this as an opportunity to again underline their dissatisfaction with these missile systems these american missile systems that are deployed in south korea when tension was very high earlier in the year china very vehemently disagrees with that and they say that those should be removed they say it's a threat to chinese security they say now using this opportunity saying that those should be removed or there should be discussions about removing those missile systems because the military tension on the korean peninsula has downgraded so they see this as an opportunity to say to the americans it looks like you don't need those anymore and they hoped moving forward they say that they will have some discussions about when and how they'll be removed. to malaysia now a former prime minister. has been arrested again and is facing twenty money
