Koreas to hold summit.
In all the history of two separated countries on the Korean peninsula no leader of North Korea has ever been to South Korea. And Kim Jong Un, who it seems all the world was holding a mad maniac may become the first leader of North Korea to ever cross the border of South Korea to hold parley.
Of course, Kim will not go further than demilitarized zone if the discussion, which is now set to take place on April 27. But the symbolic value if the meeting is that it is going to take place on the southern part of the demilitarized zone.
The meeting may very well become the third ever meeting of the Koreas’ official since war took place in 1948.
