here's a look at some other handshakes that have also made history take a look on the 13th of September 1993 after months of secret negotiations in Norway Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat witnessed the signing of the Oslo Accords on the lawns of the White House and in one of the most dramatic moments with President Bill Clinton looking on arms around both leaders Arafat and Robin shook hands symbolizing a rare moment of hope in the bitter arab-israeli conflict in June 2012 in a landmark moment in the Northern Ireland peace process Britain's
Queen Elizabeth the second shook hands with Martin McGuinness a former top commander of the Irish Republican Army which had waged a bloody for decade-long struggle against British rule in December 2013 at a memorial service in South Africa for the late Nelson Mandela US President Barack Obama made headlines when he shook hands with Cuba's Raul Castro this was the first such public greeting between leaders of two bitter neighbors after decades of estrangement following a traumatic split at the end of China's civil war in 1949 the presidents of China and Taiwan met for the first time ever
in Singapore in 2015 China's Xi Jingping and Taiwan's Myung Joo shook hands for more than a minute and even smiled before holding talks the next major handshake on the global calendar is expected to feature kim jeong-hoon again but this time with US President Donald Trump while it will certainly mark a historic moment handshakes involving Trump's sometimes make headlines for the wrong reason the US president is well known for his awkward crapples most famously Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a last year appeared to roll his eyes in an apparent expression of relief after a long handshake
with Trump in Washington DC so how will Kim jong-un react to Trump's iron grip like handshake we are waiting to see Bureau report who beyond we definitely are waiting to see how things pan out we've got time for quick reactions closing comments from both ambassadors saying and remain shamaton ambassadors into you first all in all a historic day the outcomes of course still to be measured in terms of what comes of it it's a historic day a historic handshake a historic hug but as the brief report pointed out in the past many of these handshakes
have been ended up at failure so I think from here the critical point would be how they take forward the process step by step and how the other players important players US Russia China Japan feel that their stakes in the process are being affected that should be fair enough ramesha to you well I sure I have lockup I want to pose a couple of questions would kim jonghwan want to voluntarily give up his nuclear weapons would Kim what would what will entail what will it take to get Kim Jong to do that will he want
to end up being another Muammar Gaddafi of Libya also the fact that even if he does go will I mean even if it does go walk down that path what will the u.s. and South Korea meet him halfway so these all imponderables that need to be given attention to and one hopes that these should be addressed going forward at some point absolutely so big questions still hanging in the air despite the historic nature of what's happened today we've seen a different side to North Korea for sure you know especially with the inclusion of Kim Jong
Un's sister at these talks it's been an interesting day overall we have to leave it at that for now gentlemen ambassador is saying Ramachandran thank you both for joining us this evening [Music]
