North Korea comes to the table
South Korea's benchmark KOSPI index rallied by over 1.50 percent today after the North Korean leadership met with a South Korean delegation in Pyongyang. It was the first time Kim Jong Un had met with envoys from the South as leader of the DPRK, with the South seeking to maintain momentum through communication since the end of the Winter Olympics. According to the North's state media, Kim Jong-un said he wants to "vigorously advance" closer ties with his neighbors to pursue reunification of the Korean Peninsula. South Korean officials said the 2 sides had reached a "satisfactory agreement" on holding future talks. It's a small but important step in the pursuit of a diplomatic solution to pacify the DPRK's nuclear ambitions and has been met with optimism from investors.
