On Tuesday the 18th, President Moon Jae-in will be making his way to the North by flying directly across the border on the western side of the Peninsula.
"The 2018 Inter-Korean Summit Pyeongyang will be held for three days and two nights from September 18th through the 20th. President Moon Jae-in and the South Korean delegation will go to Pyeongyang the direct air route in the west."
Officials from the two Koreas discussed that and much more... in a pre-summit meeting on Friday, including the President's itinerary and the sequence of events for the summit.
They also agreed that South Korea will dispatch an advance team of delegates, who will head to the North Korean capital over land,... two days ahead of the President.
For the summit, the size of the South Korean delegation will be limited to 200, as previously announced.
