Here’s what happened at the historic Korea summit.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in met at the line that separates the divided Koreas. Kim then stepped over the raised Military Demarcation Line, entering territory controlled by the South for the very first time. After posing for the cameras, Kim then grasped Moon’s hand and they briefly crossed into the northern side.

The United Nations Secretary General applauded the historic Korea summit and noted that many around the world are “moved by the powerful imagery,” according to a statement from his spokesman.

Secretary General Antonio Guterres “salutes the courage and leadership that resulted in the important commitments and agreed actions outlined” today, Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the secretary general, said.
