As the two leaders met for the first time, the summit press center, filled with around 3-thousand reporters and media crew members watched the moment with keen eyes.
Let's connect to our Lee Ji-won who is standing by at the press center to fill us in on how foreign reporters and media are seeing this summit.

I'm at the summit press center located in KINTEX convention center in Goyang, northwest of Seoul.
And with the much anticipated day of the third inter-Korean summit finally here,... the press center was filled with hundreds of reporters and media crews from in and out of the country from early morning today.
Let's go meet some of them and see what they're anticipating for the day.
Hi. can you introduce yourself please.

My name is Philip Sherwell, Asia correspondent from Sunday Times.

So, the two leaders finally met,... it was the first time in history for the North Korean leader to come over to south, after the division,... how did you see that?



What do you think is a key point to look out for for today's summit?



Alright, thank you very much.
We will now move to our next interviewee.

Hi. would you be okay for an interview, can you please tell us about yourself.

My name is Martin Dimitrov, reporter from Bulgaria.

Compared to the first two inter-Korean summits in 2000 and 2007, there are over double the number of press personnel for today.
Why do you think this summit has garnered this much worldwide attention?





The summit surely is the topic of the day for Koreans today,...and was for the past few weeks ever since it was decided,... but can you tell us how much of a big issue this is for people in your country and in Europe?



That's it from me for now, but I'll be back with more updates later.
