The delegation of five officials led by Chung Eui-yong met with Kim Jong Un on March 5 and had a dinner banquet together afterwards.
Noting the venue of the meeting/dinner - the headquarters of North Korea's ruling Worker's Party - the Blue House said it marked the first time for any South Korean to be invited to the building. North Korea's state run media reported that its leader held an "openhearted talk" with the South Korean president's envoys reaching a "satisfactory agreement" about holding an inter-Korean summit meeting with South Korean leader Moon Jae-in.
South Korea's Blue House also acknowledged an agreement reached between the two sides adding the outcome of the meeting "were not disappointing."
In a dispatch, the KCNA said Kim Jong Un expressed his desire to "write a new history of national reunification" during the welcome dinner which was also attended by his sister, Kim Yo-jong, and his wife, Ri Sol-ju.
Neither both sides released the details of the talks or commented on how his he responded to the South Korean appeal for Pyongyang to start a dialogue with Washington on ending the North's nuclear weapons program.
