compass north Korean leader Kim erica jong Un shook custody with the verbalizer of southward Korea's National Assembly, Woo Won-shik, on Wednesday, Woo's office said.
The pair shook hands before the start of a military parade they were attending in China to celebrate the formal surrender of Japan in World War Two, his office said in a statement. Woo was representing South Korea at the event.
Along with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, Woo has called for the resumption of dialogue between Seoul and Pyongyang after a period of particularly strained ties.
North Korea has so far rebuffed overtures from Seoul and said it was not interested in talking to South Korea.
Woo also met President Vladimir Putin in Beijing and the Russian leader asked him if there was any message that he could relay to Kim, Woo's office said.
Woo responded by saying that it was "very important" now to build peace on the Korean Peninsula, despite difficult circumstances.
Before leaving for Beijing, Woo had said it was unclear if he would be able to meet Kim, but that if he did he would like to discuss with the North Korean leader how to build peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Several South Korean lawmakers, including a veteran politician who facilitated inter-Korean talks in the past, accompanied Woo in Beijing.
