South Korean President visits Mt. Paektu as three-day summit draws to a close

In trip to sacred mountain, Moon says it "won’t take long" before South Koreans can visit

The leaders of the two Koreas wrapped up a three-day summit on Thursday morning with a trip to the peak of the peninsula’s highest mountain.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in visited Mount Paektu’s Janggun Peak and Chonji Lake joined by their respective entourages and first ladies Ri Sol Ju and Kim Jong-sook.

The DPRK leader told Moon he hoped to “write a new history of inter-Korean relations.”

“Even though a small number of people can come here today, more people from the South as well as overseas Koreans should come and see Paektu Mountain,”
