Korean leaders meet in historic summit


South Korea president Roh Moo – Hyun has cross the

DMZ between North and South Korea for the first

time. On 2000, President Kim Dae – Jung has flew to

North Korea but did not cross the DMZ boarder. Mr.

Roh mentioned that the goal is to keep the peace

between those two countries. Since 1953, Korea was

divided into North and South, they cross the DMZ

boarder which made the huge wall between two

countries. Mr. Roh also mentioned that “This line is a

wall that has divided the nation for a half-century. Our people have suffered from too many

hardships and development has been held up due to this wall,” before crossing the boarder.

When Mr. Roh arrived to the Pyongyang the capital city of North Korea, thousands of people

were welcoming, also, President of North Korea Kim jung il was welcoming the Mr. Roh. The

security was perfect and there was emergency jet. The talk between two president was about

the Nuclear weapons and keeping the peace. I believe that Mr. Roh crossed the DMZ is very

meaning to the both citizens that one day DMZ boarder will be gone and become united. Also,

President Kim Dae jung got a Novel prize for the peace keeping with North Korea. As same as

Mr. Roh should get Novel prize.
