South Korea's Lee Reaffirms Commitment to Replacing Korean Armistice with Peace Regime
Lee said Seoul should help create conditions for renewed U.S.-North Korea dialogue and replace the armistice with a permanent peace regime.
- On Wednesday, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung urged creating conditions to resume dialogue between the United States and North Korea, emphasizing Seoul's role in leveraging President Donald Trump's diplomatic engagement with Pyongyang.
- The two Koreas have technically remained at war since the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice rather than a peace treaty. Lee described this ongoing confrontation as an "unfortunate" and "tragic" reality that should be reversed.
- "To prevent tensions from rekindling," Lee told the Peaceful Unification Advisory Council, "we should replace the armistice based on conflict and confrontation with a peace regime anchored in cooperation and prosperity."
- Despite reports on Tuesday that South Korea's intelligence agency detected signs of potential dialogue, Pyongyang continues to portray the United States as hostile despite President Donald Trump's diplomatic overtures.
- President Lee Jae Myung pledged to reclaim wartime operational control by 2030 to fulfill South Korea's responsibility for peace, noting that stability on the peninsula is a key task for Northeast Asia security.
