Description

In June 2000, a historic meeting took place between South Korean president Kim Dae-jung and North Korea's leader Kim Jong Il.

This was the first inter-Korean summit since the Korean War, almost 50 years earlier.

Professor Chung-in Moon from South Korea was a special delegate at the summit.

He told Gill Kearsley about his experience in North Korea.
