韓國和朝鮮確定歷史性雙邊峯會日期

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will hold a bilateral summit on April 27.

The date for the historic meeting was set Thursday during a meeting between envoys from both Koreas in the border truce village of Panmunjonm, located in the Demilitarized Zone that has separated the two rivals since the 1950-53 civil war.

The agreement on the inter-Korean summit was reached just days after Kim Jong Un made a surprise visit to China, his first international trip since taking power in 2011 after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il. China said Kim confirmed his commitment to denuclearize the Korean peninsula and engage in talks with South Korea and the United States during his talks with President Xi Jingping.

North and South Korean envoys will meet again next Wednesday, April 4, to finalize the details for the Kim-Moon summit.朝鮮領導人金正恩和韓國總統文在寅將於4月27號舉行雙邊峯會。

朝鮮和韓國的特使星期四在朝鮮半島南北之間非軍事區的板門店停戰村會談時確定了具有歷史意義的南北峯會的日期。自從1905年到1953年的朝鮮戰爭以來，朝鮮半島的南北一直分爲兩個對立的國家。

雙方商定峯會日期的數天前，金正恩出人意料地訪問了中國。這是金正恩在他父親金正日去世後2011年掌權以來的第一次出國訪問。中國說，金正恩在與中國國家主席習近平會談時確認他將致力於朝鮮半島去核化以及將與韓國和美國舉行會談。

朝鮮和韓國的特使將於4月4號星期三再次會談，最後敲定金文峯會的細節。
