  "account": "South Korean President Lee Jae Myung vowed on Tuesday to facilitate the swift resumption of U.S.-North Korea dialogue at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. The South Korean leader emphasized his role as a catalyst for peace on the Korean Peninsula, pledging to lay the groundwork for the dialogue to evolve into a broader discussion between the relevant parties aimed at ending the conflict and establishing a lasting peace regime. The statement came as U.S. President Donald Trump attempts to revive diplomatic efforts with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, while inter-Korean relations remain stagnant. Lee stressed that the two Koreas are technically still at war due to the unresolved armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War, rather than a formal peace treaty. He attributed the emerging opportunity for change to President Trump's renewed interest in dialogue with the North Korean leader.",
