South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has called for renewed talks with North Korea to establish peaceful coexistence and replace the existing armistice with a more stable peace regime.

In his address on the anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese rule, Lee emphasized the importance of dialogue to officially conclude the 1950-53 Korean War. He proposed discussions to not only address Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities but also sustain measures to ease cross-border tensions.

Despite frozen ties and a lack of response from North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, Lee remains committed to his promise of seeking peace. He also aims to establish a forward-looking relationship with Japan, advocating for sixty more years of peace between the two countries.
