The summit on Tuesday was marked by obvious gestures of goodwill as a smiling Kim and his wife Ri Sol Ju showed up at the airport to welcome the visiting South Korean president and first lady Kim Jung-sook.
Moon landed in Pyongyang at around 10 a.m. local time (0100 GMT). A cheering crowd waved flowers, DPRK national flags and the unified flag for the Korean Peninsula, which features a map of the whole peninsula.
"Warm welcome to President Moon Jae-in on his visit to Pyongyang," a banner in the background read.
The two leaders greeted each other with a hug and inspected the ceremonial guards before leaving together for the Baekhwawon State Guest House in a black sedan. They waved to the people lining up on the side of the road to welcome Moon upon his arrival, which was broadcast live in South Korea.
On the sidelines of the summit, Kim Yong Nam, president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, met with South Korean ministers and senior officials as well as some of the business executives in Moon's entourage.
The first ladies of the two Koreas visited a children's hospital and a music college in Pyongyang in the afternoon.

The official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that the Pyongyang summit aims to implement the Panmunjom Declaration issued after the first inter-Korean summit in April.
The Pyongyang summit "will offer an important opportunity in further accelerating the development of inter-Korea relations that is making a new history," the KCNA said.
