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.
