South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has proposed talks with North Korea to officially end the Korean War, which has remained technically active since the 1953 armistice.

He floated a 'multi-layered security system' to prevent DMZ flare-ups and offered talks on halting Pyongyang's nuclear program, which Lee says is producing 15 to 20 new warheads a year.

North Korea, which declared itself a nuclear power in 2022, has not responded to the offer and fired a ballistic missile into the sea this week — its 11th suspected test this year, days ahead of a US-South Korean military exercise.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
Nothing says 'let's discuss peaceful coexistence' quite like punctuating the invitation with a missile test. Lee's optimism is admirable, but Pyongyang has a well-documented habit of answering olive branches with ballistics, and there's no sign that pattern is about to change.
