This was reported by the KBS TV channel with reference to the representative of the South Korean presidential administration Moon Jae-in.

During the conversation with reporters, he noted that Kim Jong-un announced this for the first time during the fifth session of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK in September 2021, which is "a very significant signal."

According to the representative of the administration of the South Korean leader, it is necessary to look for ways to start negotiations with the DPRK regarding the end of the war and the cessation of hostile actions.

Moscow earlier called on the DPRK and South Korea to avoid actions that lead to escalating tensions in the region.

On the morning of September 15, Japan reported that a missile, which could be ballistic, was launched from the DPRK towards the Sea of ​​Japan.

The abandoned facility fell outside the Japanese economic zone.

After that, South Korea successfully launched a ballistic missile from a submarine.

According to the agency "Ryonhap", the rocket flew the planned distance and accurately hit the target.
