BREAKING NEWS:
A
new era of peace is beginning, according to a declaration signed by the leaders
of North and South Korea after their first meeting in over a decade. Both
nations are aiming to completely denuclearize the Korean peninsula.
"South
and North Korea affirmed their shared objective of achieving a nuclear-free
Korean peninsula through complete denuclearization," reads the declaration
signed by the leaders of the two countries, as cited by Yonhap.
“There
will be no more war on the Korean peninsula, and a new age of peace has opened,"
the document adds.
The
two sides also agreed to hold multi-party talks, involving the US and China, in
their push for a full-scale truce. Pyongyang and Seoul are also to have
high-level military talks in May.
In
an ambitious statement after the signing ceremony, Kim said he hopes that the
two Koreas will reunite. The states separated after WWII and have remained
hostile since the Korean War ended with an armistice, rather than a peace
treaty, in 1953.
“Terminating
the current state of the truce and establishing a firm peace regime is a
historic task that [the two Koreas] can no longer delay," the leaders
pointed out.
