South Korea asked for UN assistance in officially ending war with DPRK

The South Korean President recalled that 2020 marks the 70th anniversary of the start of the Korean War. 

“The time has come to eliminate the protracted tragedy on the Korean Peninsula.

The war must end, completely and forever ... I hope that the UN and the international community will provide support so that, with the help of the declaration of the end of the war, we take a step towards an era of reconciliation and prosperity, "RIA Novosti quotes him.

Moon Jae In also expressed the opinion that this step "will open the way to complete denuclearization and the establishment of permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula."

In July, it was reported that US Special Representative for the DPRK Stephen Bigan and the head of the National Security Department of the Korean Presidential Administration, Seo Hoon, discussed ways to resume dialogue with North Korea.
