The focus of the Inspector General of the US Embassy was on the declaration of an end to the Korean War.

Opposition lawmakers opened the door stating that the order of the declaration of an end to the war and denuclearization had been reversed.

As a result, the United States criticized it as a diplomatic gamble for the end of his term, saying that only the Korean government is pushing ahead without any interest.

[Rep. Park Jin/People's Strength: Will North Korea's nuclear weapons or missiles disappear just by declaring an end to the war? It is my judgment that the declaration of an end to the war should be an exit, not an entrance, to North Korea's denuclearization.]

Democratic lawmakers immediately rebutted.

The declaration of an end to the war is only the first step toward the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, but it was countered that the opposition was distorting the concept in order to use it as a tool for political conflict.

[Yoon Geon-young / Democratic Party Member: In the government, the end of the war declaration itself is not the goal, the goal can never be changed. They talk about the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, but they keep talking as if the end of the war declaration itself is the goal.] The

reason why the U.S. government does not officially mention the end of the war is not because they are not interested, but because it is still under review, Lee Su-hyeok explained.
