There’s a thaw spreading over the Korean peninsula, after Kim Jong Un came out in warm support of bringing the divided nations there together again.

Kim spoke after a dinner held on Monday evening in Pyongyang between North Korean leader Kim and a delegation dispatched by South Korean President Moon Jae In.

“He repeatedly clarified that it is our consistent and principled stand and his firm will to vigorously advance the North-South relations and write a new history of national reunification by the concerted efforts of our nation to be proud of in the world,” the Korean Central News Agency said in a statement, according to tracker KCNA Watch.

That dinner was believed to be the first such meeting the North Korean leader, in power since 2011, has held with the South’s government.

“ “He repeatedly clarified that it is ... his firm will to vigorously advance the North-South relations and write a new history of national reunification.” ” — Kim Jong Un’s comments, cited by the KCNA

Now historic talks appear to be on the horizon for North Korea and South Korea, with the former apparently willing to talk about giving up nuclear weapons and pursuing a normalization in relations with the U.S.

On Tuesday, officials in Seoul reportedly said they would hold their first border summit in over a decade in late April with North Korea, which is expected to suspend weapons testing for the duration of that gathering. U.S. stock futures shot higher as those headlines filtered out.

North Korea, which just a few months ago was engaged in a war of words with U.S. President Donald Trump that proved damaging at times for the financial markets, has shown openness to denuclearization, according to a South Korean official.

Monday’s talks between North Korea’s leader and the delegation from South Korea took place in a “compatriotic and sincere atmosphere,”the KCNA said in its statement.

“Hearing the intention of President Moon Jae In for a summit from the special envoy of the South side, [Kim Jong Un] exchanged views and made a satisfactory agreement,” it said.

Relations between North and South Korea took an upward turn during the recent Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, while a North Korean delegation said at the time that Pyongyang was “fully willing” to talk with the U.S.

Chung Eui-yong, South Korea’s national-security adviser, said in a press briefing that he and Suh Hoon, the South Korean intelligence chief, would brief U.S. officials in Washington this week, according to the Wall Street Journal.
