South Korea’s president proposes formal end to Korean war talks with North

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung proposed talks with North Korea to formally end the Korean War. The conflict, which began in 1950 and ended in 1953, remains unresolved as it concluded with an armistice instead of a peace treaty. This proposal was made during a speech at a ceremony commemorating Korea’s liberation from Japan's occupation from 1910 to 1945.
