The leaders of North and South Korea have met in the demilitarised border area between the two countries.
The meeting is only the second between South Korea's Moon Jae-in and the North's Kim Jong-un.
It comes as the two sides continue efforts to put a historic US-North Korea summit back on track.
On Thursday US President Donald Trump cancelled the summit, scheduled for 12 June, but later suggested it might still go ahead.
The talks were held at the northern side of the Panmunjom truce village between 15:00 and 17:00 local time (06:00 and 08:00 GMT), Mr Moon's office said.
