Living Free With Part Of Your Heart In North Korea

The meeting on Friday of the leaders of the two Koreas was a significant moment – perhaps even a move to the formal end of the Korean War. A war in which overt hostilities eased on 27 July 1953 but which has never officially ended in the 65 years since.
