South Korean President Moon Jae-in: The Declaration of the End of the War is the first step towards the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
The 2021 Seoul UN Peacekeeping Ministerial Conference hosted by the South Korean government was held on December 7, local time.
In his speech, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said that the declaration of the end of the war is the first step towards peace and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
According to Yonhap News Agency’s report on the 7th, Moon Jae-in delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the meeting that day, saying that South Korea longs for peace.
Based on the consistent support of the international community, the South Korean government and people have always worked hard for the denuclearization and permanent peace of the Korean Peninsula.
It is hoped that the international community will establish a new order of reconciliation and cooperation through the declaration of the end of the war and realize peace in Northeast Asia and the world.
South Korean Foreign Minister Jeong Yi-yong pointed out that the armistice agreement can stop fighting, but it will not end the war or achieve peace.
In order to obtain peace, a firm will is required, as well as the preparation for action.
South Korea will replace the 68-year unnatural truce with a permanent peace mechanism.
South Korean Defense Minister Xu Xu said that South Korea is working hard to achieve the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and establish a permanent peace mechanism.
The South Korean government will do its utmost to strive for results in the peace process on the Korean peninsula that it has always promoted.
According to reports, the 2021 UN Peacekeeping Ministerial Conference in Seoul coincides with the 30th anniversary of South Korea’s accession to the United Nations. The largest conference in the field of peace and security has invited 155 foreign ministers and defense ministers to participate.
The meeting was originally planned to invite delegations from hundreds of countries to visit South Korea for face-to-face meetings, but due to the influence of the Omi Keron variant, it was held in video format instead.
