South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has called for official talks with North Korea to put an end to the war that still technically exists — a promise to resolve centuries‑old tension that started with the 1953 armistice.
Lee proposes a multi‑layered security system along the demilitarised zone and a plan to stop Pyongyang’s nuclear build‑up, seeking a path toward peaceful coexistence.
The move follows the long‑standing rivalry over missile tests, with the South hoping to finally stop confrontations that flare regularly along the border.
South’s president urges North Korea to sit face‑to‑face and discuss mutual growth, but the Kim Jong‑Un regime has issued no reply yet.
The proposal comes after former President Yoon Suk‑Yeol’s attempt to warm relations, underscoring a fresh generation’s desire for lasting peace.
