Korea's Roh Moo-hyun (R) As the Leaders walked up to shake hands; Kim Jong Il was said to have uttered the words, "I'm glad to meet you" ...

Summit Is Watershed for Peace: Lim
"The two Koreas should play a major role to create a peace regime on the peninsula," said Lim. "Therefore, the two Koreas should lead the signing of a peace treaty. The United States and China may guarantee the treaty, while the United Nations ratifies it."

"North Korea has shut down its plutonium-producing reactor at Yongbyon; in return for 950,000 metric tons of fuel oil or its equivalent in economic aid."


Evidently, this was the first summit (June 07, 2000) Historic North-South Korea Summit

Oh, and it's almost not worth mentioning here (and I don't expect much) but I did send a request to do an Interview. (Didn't mention a camera-crew.) Who knows, maybe he'll agree to hold interview here (haha)
Anyway, huge long-shot, but then... who knows. :D
