15 JUNE 2018 - SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: South Koreans cheer during a rally to mark the anniversary of the signing of the June 15th North–South Joint Declaration between South Korea and North Korea. The Declaration was negotiated by late South Korean President Kim Dae-jung and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and signed on 15 June 2000. It was a part of South Korea's "Sunshine Policy," which guides the South's relationship with North Korea. This year's observance of the anniversary was bolstered by the recent thawing in relations between North Korea and South Korea and the US. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
