North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un toldSouth Korea PresidentMoon Jae-in during a private meeting that he came to the inter-Korea summit to end a history of conflict and joked he was sorry for keeping Moon up with his late night missile tests, a South Korean official said on Friday.

News agency Reuters quoting senior presidential official Yoon Young-chan stated that Kim told Moon he would be willing to visit the presidential Blue House in Seoul and wanted to meet "more often" in the future.

After talks lasting more than an hour and a half behind closed doors, Kim was driven back to the North side just before noon in a black limousine flanked by guards who ran alongside. Crossing the border, the vehicle had to drive across a lawn, as there is not a road linking the two sides at that spot.
