Ambassador Kim and Ambassador An were seen conversing in the vehicle.
President Joko Widodo welcomed the two Korean representatives in one room of Merdeka Palace at 2:00 p.m. local time.
The president greeted the representatives before discussions.

Earlier, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in shook hands on Friday (April 27) in a demilitarized zone that restricts them from discussing peace between the two Korean countries.
The high-level inter-Korean meeting at the South Korean Peace Building resulted in the peace agreement set out in the Panmunjeon Declaration.
The first point in the declaration will build mutual prosperity and unity through the enhancement of relations and cooperation between the two countries.
The second point is to emphasize the efforts of both the Koreas in maintaining the stability and security of the region, including reducing military tensions, to avoid war on the Korean Peninsula.
Meanwhile, on the last point, the two countries agreed to actively work together to establish a permanent government regime and conduct peace solidly on the Korean Peninsula.
