High on the agenda of the talks are ways to improve and develop inter-Korean relations, promote the US-North Korea Dialogue to denuclearize the Korean peninsula, and reduce tension between the two countries. The two leaders are scheduled to continue their talks on Wednesday and hold a joint press conference.
North Korea has embarked on an unprecedented series of meetings this year with both the South and the US. But talks with Washington have reached a deadlock, with both sides so far agreeing only to very general goals. South Korea's president hopes to be a mediator between the two, while working to boost the inter-Korean relationship.
