South Korea president proposes talks with North to formally end Korean War
Lee's proposal came as North Korea this week denounced upcoming annual US-South Korean military drills, warning of stronger deterrence measures.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has proposed formal talks with North Korea to formally end the Korean War, which ended with an armistice rather than a peace treaty in 1953. His proposal emerged as North Korea denounced upcoming US-South Korean military drills, warning of stronger deterrent measures. North Korea has also been increasingly close to Russia, receiving financial support, food, and military technology for its involvement in Russia's war in Ukraine.
Despite these developments, South Korea's president believes that direct dialogue between the two Koreas is the key to resolving the long-standing conflict and addressing North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
