North Korean leader Kim Jong Un crossed the border into South Korea on Friday and has started talks on nuclear weapons with President Moon Jae-in for a historic summit.

It was the first time a member of the Kim dynasty was known to set foot on South Korean soil since 1953. The two men shook hands and smiled for news cameras.

The meeting comes weeks before Kim plans to sit down with President Donald Trump. The rogue nation's nuclear capabilities are expected to be a major topic of discussion during the summit with the U.S. leader.

The historic meeting of the two Korean leaders was scheduled down to the last detail. Thousands of journalists were kept in a huge conference center well away from the summit, except for a small group of tightly-controlled pool reporters at the border.
