The two Koreas have agreed to rid their peninsula of nuclear weapons but failed to provide any new specific measures on how to achieve that.

A joint statement issued after their leaders' talks on Friday said the two Koreas confirmed their goal of achieving a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula "through complete denuclearisation."

North Korea has placed its nukes up for negotiations.

It has previously used the term "denuclearisation" to say it can disarm only when the United States withdraws its 28,500 troops in South Korea.

The statement didn't say what other specific disarmament steps North Korea would take.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made their joint statement in front of the Peace House, during which Moon also announced that the two Koreas will work together to end the armistice and work together to declare the end of war and eventually sign the peace treaty.

Kim responded by saying that he will closely cooperate with Moon to make sure the two Koreas do not make the mistake of repeating unfulfilled promises of the past.
