South Korea’s Lee urges talks with North Korea about finally ending Korean war

Lee wants to end 1950-53 war, which has never had a peace treaty, but says talks should include curbing North Korea’s nuclear capabilities

South Korean president Lee ⁠Jae Myung called on Saturday for talks with North Korea to pursue peaceful coexistence, saying ⁠Seoul would seek ⁠safeguards ​to prevent conflict and noting the need to replace the peninsula’s armistice with a “peace regime“.

In a ⁠speech marking the anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule, Lee said the two Koreas ⁠should hold a sit-down for coexistence.
