Description

President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un are meeting on Friday at the truce village of Panmunjom.
Both local and foreign reporters are now gathering in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do Province to cover the historic summit.
Our Cha Sang-mi, part of the Panmunjom Press Pool, reports from the site.

Hi Mark, yes, the long-waited 2018 Inter-Korean summit is now just one day away.
As you can see behind me, I am currently at the Korea International Exhibition Center in Goyang, which is serving as the Main Press Center during the inter-Korean summit.
This place is some 30 kilometers away from the truce village of Panmunjom where the two leaders will meet on Friday.
Some 2-thousand-500 local and foreign reporters will be covering the historic summit at the press center here, as well as at a smaller press room just 50 meters away from the Peace House in Panmunjom.

We can see the size of the press center on the video as you speak, Sang-mi,... shows the intensity of the interest in this summit from around the world. Let's hear about the last minute work the summit preparation team is doing... so far, so good it seems...

Mark, today at the Peace House of Panmunjom, the six key aides, including Presidential Chief of Staff Im Jong-seok, who will be accompanying President Moon tomorrow will conduct a final rehearsal.
This final rehearsal is to deal with any problems discovered in the two previous rehearsals that took place this week.

This comes after Seoul and Pyongyang held a joint rehearsal on Wednesday, according to the Blue House press director Kwon Hyuk-ki.
He said it was a good chance to view the event from Pyongyang's perspective.
The rehearsal went smoothly and was very thorough, even the delivery of North Korea's signature dish, Pyongyang-style naengmyeong, or cold noodles was rehearsed.
Back to you Mark.
