South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un watched the North's Mass Games on Wednesday (September 19) at the end of the second day of their summit.


Thousands of North Korean spectators applauded when the two leaders and their wives arrived at the May Day Stadium in the capital Pyongyang where a spectacular fireworks display lit up the sky and hundreds danced in colourful costumes.

Earlier in the day, the two leaders agreed to turn the Korean peninsula into a "land of peace without nuclear weapons and nuclear threats", as North Korea's Kim pledged to permanently abolish its key missile facilities in the presence of foreign experts.

On Thursday (September 20), the last day of his three-day visit, Moon plans to visit Mount Paektu in North Korea with Kim before returning home. (Reuters)
