South Korean President Moon Jae-in said it "came like a miracle". It's certainly a very unexpected development in a saga which seemed irreconcilable only a few months ago.
The leaders of the United States and the DPRK -- two countries which had been using very strong rhetoric in terms of war -- have agreed to meet for talks as early as May. The announcement was delivered by South Korea's National Security Adviser at the White House, after he briefed President Trump on Pyongyang's wishes. He said Kim Jong Un was now committed to denuclearization.
