AKIPRESS.COM - North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un has vowed to permanently dismantle a missile test site and a launch pad after talks with South Korea, Sky News reports.

The leaders of both countries signed a declaration after agreeing the Korean peninsula should turn into a "land of peace without nuclear weapons and nuclear threats".

After the summit in Pyongyang, South Korea President Moon Jae-in told reporters: "The North agreed to permanently close the Tongchang-ri missile engine test site and missile launch facility in the presence of experts from relevant nations."

North Korea says it will also permanently dismantle its main Nyongbyon nuclear complex but only if the United States takes reciprocal measures, Mr Moon added.

In a joint news conference after the talks, Mr Kim said he had promised to visit Seoul "in the near future".

He would be the first North Korean leader to visit the South's capital since the peninsula was divided at the end of the Second World War.

It was also announced that North and South Korea will seek to co-host the 2032 Summer Olympics.

The two countries will establish a joint military committee to evaluate how to reduce tensions and maintain communication, Mr Moon said.
