South Korean president proposes talks with North to formally end Korean War
Lee Jae Myung made the proposal as Pyongyang deepens ties with Russia while asserting its status as an 'irreversible' nuclear state.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has proposed talks with North Korea to formally end the Korean War, which has been ongoing since 1950 despite the Armistice Agreement. This move comes amid North Korea's deepening ties with Russia and its assertion of being an irreversible nuclear state. The proposal suggests a potential shift in South Korean foreign policy, as President Lee Jae Myung aims to address North Korea's nuclear capabilities and end the long-standing conflict.
However, North Korea has not yet responded to the offer and continues to bolster military ties with Russia, receiving support for its war in Ukraine.
