South Korean President Moon Jae-in said today that the agreed summit with North Korea in September will be a further step towards denuclearization of the peninsula. The advancement in the relationship between the Koreas is the “driving force”.
Moon pledged to take “take an audacious step to proceed toward the declaration of an end to the Korean War and the signing of a peace treaty as well as the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.”
He also emphasized that “when the deep-rooted distrust between the two Koreas and between the North and the United States is lifted, the mutual agreement can be implemented.”
And, when peace is established, “economic cooperation can be carried out in earnest.” The first step could be “unification economic zones” along border provinces.
