SEOUL: South Korea will this week celebrate the first anniversary of a landmark summit between President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un - but Pyongyang may not take part, Seoul said Monday.
Moon, who brokered the first meeting between the two mercurial leaders, has tried to salvage the diplomacy although the North has remained largely unresponsive. Seoul will hold a ceremony on Saturday at Panmunjom - where Moon and Kim exchanged warm smiles and brotherly hugs - the unification ministry said, but Pyongyang's attendance remained unclear."When we notify the North , we will provide additional details," ministry spokesman Lee Sang-min told reporters.
