How some Koreans celebrated, and protested, the historic summit in South Korea by David Choi on Apr 30, 2018, 8:33 PM Advertisement
 South Korean President Moon Jae-in's historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Friday, the first such meeting between the two countries in 11 years, set forth a new era on inter-Korean relations, and fixed the stage for an upcoming summit between Kim and US President Donald Trump. The talks culminated after weeks of warmed relations between the two countries. And the language from the Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification on the Korean Peninsula — the joint declaration signed by Kim and Moon on Friday — suggests that the conciliatory mood on the Korean Peninsula will continue for the time being. "I am confident a new era of peace will unfold on the Korean peninsula," Moon said to his aides. Much of the meeting's fanfare and focus centered around the two leaders' apparently optimistic outlook for the future, and many South Koreans mimicked those feelings.
