South Korean officials have carefully choreographed nearly every moment of Fridays summit between President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and each piece of furniture, carpeting and artwork has been selected to convey deep meaning.

The historic meeting, on the South Korean side of the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone, will begin shortly before 10 a.m. local time. Kim and his entourage will be met by a South Korean honor guard and escorted to the Peace House, where they are expected to discuss inter-Korean relations and negotiate the groundwork to denuclearize the Korean peninsula.

Inside, South Korea said it has spared no expense to give meaning to every object in sight. The symbolic spaces have been designed to quietly speak to the leaders of the two Koreas as they come together during this historic event, Moons government said in press briefing material.

Kim will be seated at a specially made table exactly 2,018 millimeters wide, symbolizing the year the historic summit is being held, the briefing statement said. The tables oval shape is to help bridge the psychological distance between the two Koreas.

It is also intended to promote candid, heart-to-heart discussions among officials from both sides sitting around the oval table, the statement said.
