문 대통령 "전국민 백두산 관광 가능한 시대 올 것"...백두산 방문으로 일정 마무리
The two leaders visited North Korea's Baekdusan Mountain this morning.
President Moon Jae-in finally got to fulfill his wish of using the Korean route to hike up the symbolic site.
Park Hee-jun has the details. They held their hands up together at the peak of Baekdusan Mountain.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and the first ladies ascended the iconic mountain on the last day of the Pyeongyang Summit,... the last stop on their schedule before returning to Seoul.
A deeply meaningful day, especially for President Moon,... who got to tick off a wish on his bucket list.
President Moon, for a long time,... had hoped to visit Baekdusan,... not through the Chinese route, but the North Korean route.
The two leaders shared their hopes for a new era... in which South Koreans will be able to freely come and go to Baekdusan.
Kim also said that the people of the South, as well as the rest of the world,... need to one day see the mountain,... a place that, ever since the Koreas' separation, has been longed for by so many.
Also at the mountain was the South Korean delegation accompanying President Moon.
They and the President invited Kim Jong-un to South Korea's Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island, in return for the special tour.
It was cold,... but the sky was perfectly clear.
And with their symbolic mountain trek,... the leaders of the two Koreas concluded their three-day inter-Korean summit.
