李在明政府在周一发布的统一部白皮书中，将政策重心转向与朝鲜和平共存的“两国论”。这标志着其与前任政府的方针存在明显差异。
该白皮书提出了三项关键原则：首尔尊重朝鲜的体制、不追求吸收统一、且不从事敌对活动。政府将其政策定位为朝鲜半岛的和平共存与共同发展。
针对平壤在2023年12月宣布的“两个敌对国家”政策，该文件呼吁向以和平为导向的“两国关系”转型。统一部表示：“考虑到韩朝事实上作为两个国家存在的现实，我们旨在将韩朝关系发展为和平共存的关系，同时仍然坚持统一的目标。”
李在明政府将停止散发反平壤传单及扩音器广播作为缓解紧张局势的举措，并计划恢复2018年签署的《9·19韩朝军事协议》。
目前双方关系依然处于冻结状态，已连续五年没有任何人员交流，亦无任何经济联系。平壤方面已修改宪法，删除了有关统一的表述，并切断了剩余的联络渠道。

President Lee Jae-myung pledged on March 1 to respect North Korea's political system and refrain from hostile actions during a ceremony marking the 107th anniversary of the March First Independence Movement. He emphasized building peace on the Korean Peninsula and vowed to facilitate the resumption of dialogue between the two Koreas and between Pyongyang and Washington. Lee also promised a thorough investigation into recent drone incursions and measures to prevent recurrence.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signaled openness to improving ties with the United States if it drops its hostile policy, during the Ninth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea, but rejected dialogue with South Korea, declaring permanent hostility. This came amid warnings of 'terrible retaliatory attacks' at a military parade marking the congress's close. South Korea expressed regret but vowed to pursue peaceful coexistence.
