NEW YORK — South Korean President Lee Jae Myung addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, reaffirming his role as a catalyst for peace on the Korean Peninsula. He pledged efforts to expedite the resumption of dialogue between the United States and North Korea, as the U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to revive diplomacy with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
The inter-Korean relations are currently at a standstill, following the long-standing armistice from the 1950-53 Korean War, which remains technically in a state of war due to the absence of a peace treaty. Lee expressed hope for the swift reopening of the dialogue between North Korea and the U.S., emphasizing the groundwork needed for it to evolve into a broader dialogue among the involved parties, aimed at ending the Korean War and transitioning into a peace regime.
