South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has proposed formal negotiations with North Korea to officially end the Korean War. The conflict has remained technically active since the 1953 armistice, which established a frozen state of hostilities rather than a permanent peace treaty.
The proposal coincides with heightened regional tensions, as North Korea has issued denunciations regarding upcoming annual joint military exercises conducted by the United States and South Korea.
