North and South Korea
have announced an end to the Korea war and will sign a peace treaty to
formally end the Korean War later this year, 65 years after hostilities ceased,
the two countries announced in a joint declaration moments ago.
The document, formally called the “Panmunjom Declaration for
Peace, Prosperity and Unification on the Korean Peninsula,” was revealed after
a full day of meetings and a 30-minute private conversation in the past hour between
Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae-in.
“The two leaders solemnly declare that there will be no more
war on the Korean Peninsula and a new era of peace has begun,” the declaration
said. Fighting in the Korean War ended in 1953 in stalemate, after which an
armistice agreement was signed. But a peace treaty never followed, and the two
sides are still technically at war.
“There will not be any more war on the Korean Peninsula, a
new era of peace has begun. Chairman Kim Jong Un and I have agreed that complete
denuclearization will be achieved, and that is our common goal” Moon said after
signing the declaration.
