North Korea willing to accept 'complete denuclearization' without conditions

I don't think denuclearization has different meanings for South and North Korea," Moon said during a lunch with chief executives of Korean media companies. "The North is expressing a will for a complete denuclearization."

"They have not attached any conditions that the U.S. cannot accept, such as the withdrawal of American troops from South Korea," he continued. "All they are talking about is the end of hostile policies against North Korea, followed by a guarantee of security."

After the second and final round of closed-door talks, the leaders emerged again and sat together to sign a joint "Panmunjom Declaration" agreeing to work toward the "complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula" and a formal end to the war.

Officially dubbed the Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity, Unification of the Korean Peninsula, the agreement calls for both sides:
- To completely cease all hostile acts s on land, sea, air
- To transform the Demilitarized Zone into a "peace zone"
- To stop propaganda broadcasts, leafleting starting May 1
- Area near the western northern limit line to be turned into a maritime peace zone to prevent sudden naval clashes
- To hold military talks in May

After the signing ceremony both men walked outside together and gave remarks at side-by-side podiums. Moon said new offices would be established in both North and South Korea to facilitate economic cooperation, and a new liaison office in the Northern border city of Kaesong, where both sides would continue to hold meetings on denuclearization. Kaesong, a joint industrial complex that had workers from both sides of the border, was shuttered several years ago as tensions mounted anew.

Kim thanked Moon for hosting the summit, calling him "brother," and saying they had both realized "we cannot be separated. We are one nation."

Moon has agreed to visit North Korea's capital of Pyongyang this autumn for another round of talks.
