North Korea makes 'agreement' with South Korea after historic meeting: KCNAReuters, Mar 5, 2018, Christine Kim
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met senior South Korean government officials for the first time and said it is his “firm will to vigorously advance†inter-Korean ties and pursue reunification, the North’s official news agency said on Tuesday.
A 10-member South Korean delegation led by National Security Office head Chung Eui-yong traveled to the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, on Monday in hopes of encouraging North Korea and the United States to talk to one another.

The Pentagon has nevertheless said it was “cautiously optimistic†about the North-South talks, which resumed in January for the first time in two years.
North Korea has vowed never to give up what it calls an essential deterrent against U.S. hostility. Pyongyang has not carried out any nuclear or missile tests since November.
Although the North is carrying out annual winter military exercises, it has not engaged in unusual behavior, according to South Korea’s defense ministry.
