Kim Jong-un wants to 'write new history' with South Korea as diplomatic thaw continues

Kim Jong-un, North Korea’s reclusive leader, said he wanted to “vigorously advance” national reunification during his first ever meeting with officials from South Korea, providing a further fillip to an ongoing diplomatic détente.

Talks at Monday's dinner were centred on a possible summit between the two nation’s leaders, raising hopes of a breakthrough on the hermit kingdom’s nuclear programme.

A report by the official Korean Central News Agency said Mr Kim told the delegation he wanted to "write a new history of reunification" and also discussed how to ease military tensions in the region.

“Hearing the intention of President Moon Jae-in for a summit from the special envoy of the south side, he exchanged views and made a satisfactory agreement,” it said after yesterday’s meeting without detailing what that agreement was.
