Kim and Moon could also discuss returning
the heavily fortified demilitarized zone
separating them to its original state, the

Pyongyang and Seoul have technically been at
war since the 1950-1953 Korean conflict
ended with a truce — and not a peace treaty.
Geopolitical tensions have occasionally
flared up since the armistice, although to

another devastating conflict.
A successful summit between the Koreas later
this month could help pave the way for a
meeting between Kim and President Donald

leader are poised to hold talks in late May

News Agency (KCNA).
