South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has proposed negotiations with North Korea to officially conclude the Korean War, which has remained unresolved since the 1953 armistice. He emphasized the need for a multi-layered security system to prevent conflicts along the demilitarized zone and to address North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
Lee expressed hope for peaceful coexistence and mutual growth between the two nations during a ceremony marking Liberation Day. North Korea has not yet responded to this offer, and previous attempts at engagement have been met with skepticism from Pyongyang.
