NAMYANGJU, South Korea (Reuters) - When a smiling North Korean leader Kim Jong Un shook hands with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on the border of their countries during a summit last month, images of the historic moment grabbed the world's attention.

It was the first time a North Korean leader had set foot in the South since the 1950-1953 Korean War. Moon and Kim said they would work to denuclearise the Korean peninsula and seek a peace agreement to replace the 1953 armistice.
