US President Donald Trump has welcomed North Korean pioneer Kim Jong-un to meet him at the invigorated zone that partitions North and South Korea.
In what Mr Trump portrayed as an unconstrained motion, he said on Twitter he could "shake [Mr Kim's] hand and make proper acquaintance" during his visit to South Korea.
North Korea has portrayed it as an "intriguing recommendation".
The US president has landed in South Korea to examine the hailing North Korea denuclearisation talks.
In the event that Mr Trump and Mr Kim were to see each other at the peaceful area (DMZ), it would be their third gathering in a little more than a year, and their first since a summit in Vietnam separated in February.
