President Moon Jae-in says meaningful peace with North Korea can’t be achieved without some kind of formal agreement. A peace deal between the two nations was not signed at the end of the Korean War in the 1950s.
“I will not stop efforts to institutionalize sustainable peace,” Moon said in a New Year’s message on Monday.
According to Yonhap, the president appeared to be referring to the potential adoption of a declaration what would formally end the Korean War. The conflict, which raged between 1950 and 1953, ended with an internationally brokered armistice and the creation of a demilitarized zone separating the North and South.
A formal peace deal is seen as a key element in the normalization of ties between Pyongyang and Seoul.
