South Korean president lands in North Korea for third summit of 2018
Global News.ca, Sept 17, 2018, Associated Press

South Korean President Moon Jae-in landed in Pyongyang on Tuesday for his third summit this year with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Moon’s goals are lofty: To try to resolve deadlocked nuclear diplomacy, ease a decades-long military standoff and promote peace on a Korean Peninsula that many feared was close to war last year.

[...]

Moon was greeted at the Sunan International Airport in Pyongyang by thousands of North Koreans, lined up in neat rows and dressed in black suits and traditional hanboks. They waved bouquets of artificial flowers, the North Korean flag and also a white-and-blue flag with a map symbolizing a unified Korean Peninsula. North Korean soldiers and naval troops quick-marched into position to welcome Moon, and Kim Jong Un’s sister walked amid the preparations for receiving the South Korean president, according to South Korean media pool footage from the site. South Korean officials said Kim Jong Un was also expected, but he couldn’t immediately be seen. A signboard said, “We ardently welcome President Moon Jae-in.”
