President Lee Jae Myung pledged on Wednesday to make diplomatic efforts to swiftly resume talks between North Korea and the United States, while creating conditions for inter-Korean dialogue. Speaking at a nationally televised New Year's press conference in Seoul, he emphasized a pragmatic approach to reduce tensions on the Korean Peninsula. Lee also vowed to restore the 2018 Sept. 19 military agreement suspended amid recent escalations.
South Korea proposed military talks with North Korea on November 17 to clarify the Military Demarcation Line and prevent accidental clashes near the border. The move marks the first official proposal since President Lee Jae Myung took office in June amid repeated North Korean troop crossings. It remains unclear if Pyongyang will respond positively.
