US EditionSouth Korea president calls on North Korea to resume dialogue
President Lee Jae Myung calls for renewed North Korea talks amid Pyongyang's recent rejection, pledging respect for its system and coordinating with the U.S. and neighbors as a pacemaker.
- On March 1, 2026, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung urged North Korea to return to talks with the United States and shape a `new future` during his address at the COEX exhibition center.

- As a `pacemaker`, Lee said Seoul will coordinate with the United States and neighbours and continue shuttle diplomacy after visits to China and Japan.
- His government said it will prioritize action over rhetoric to reduce military tensions and restore inter‑Korean trust while urging deeper trilateral cooperation among Korea, China and Japan.
- Previous Trump‑Kim summits collapsed over sanctions and nuclear concessions, and Trump said he was 100 per cent open to a meeting last year, with speculation mounting over a potential Trump‑Kim encounter during planned China travels.
